Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating compounds with specific biological activity. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds, it helps build complex heterocyclic systems found in crop protection agents and medicinal chemistry research. The presence of bromo and fluoro groups enables sequential substitution reactions, offering flexibility in synthetic pathways.
