Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with enhanced biological activity. Its nitro and bromo functional groups allow for sequential substitution reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to introduce aromatic frameworks in drug discovery. Also utilized in the preparation of dyes and functional materials where fluorine substitution improves stability and electronic properties.
