This compound is a benzene ring carrying bromine, fluorine, and trifluoromethyl substituents, giving it a reactive aryl bromide handle alongside two other halogen-type substituents useful for downstream functionalization in multistep synthesis.
This compound is used as a cross-coupling and halogen-metal exchange substrate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediate synthesis, where its distinct halogen substituents allow selective, sequential functionalization.
PPE: Standard precautions for halogenated aromatics — eyeshields, gloves, fume hood
