Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in reactions where selective functionalization of aromatic rings is required. Its bromo and fluoro substituents allow for sequential cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex molecules. The presence of the nitro group facilitates further transformations, such as reduction to an amine, which can be used in dye and pigment manufacturing. Commonly employed in research settings for developing new bioactive compounds and in the preparation of specialty chemicals requiring multi-step aromatic derivatization.
