Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Its structure allows for selective binding in biological systems, making it valuable in creating active ingredients in oncology drugs. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions due to the presence of bromo and fluoro substituents, enabling the formation of complex heterocyclic compounds in medicinal chemistry research. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing bioactive molecules with improved metabolic stability and lipophilicity.
