Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves in the preparation of active ingredients in crop protection products due to its halogenated aromatic structure, which can enhance biological activity. Also employed in research for the development of specialty chemicals, including disinfectants and preservatives, where bromo- and chloro-substitution contributes to antimicrobial properties. Its reactivity allows for further functionalization in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions for building complex molecules.
