It serves as a synthetic building block and intermediate in organic chemistry for preparing substituted benzaldehydes and complex molecules in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.

Its purpose lies in facilitating regioselective reactions due to the directing effects of its halogen substituents enabling the synthesis of fine chemicals and advanced materials.

24-Dibromo-6-fluorobenzaldehyde is a halogenated aromatic aldehyde with the molecular formula CHBrFO featuring bromine atoms at positions 2 and 4 fluorine at position 6 and an aldehyde group on a benzene ring.
