Used primarily in organic synthesis as a building block for more complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It serves as an intermediate in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialty chemicals. Its bromine and fluorine substituents make it valuable for introducing halogenated aromatic structures into compounds, which can enhance biological activity or modify physical properties. Additionally, it is employed in the development of materials science, including the creation of advanced polymers and coatings with specific performance characteristics.
