Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated and brominated organic compounds. Its functional groups enable selective reactions in multi-step syntheses, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with enhanced stability and reactivity. The compound’s halogenated structure supports cross-coupling reactions, facilitating the construction of complex aromatic systems in medicinal chemistry.
