Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in constructing complex molecules through cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations. Also employed in the production of agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, due to its ability to enhance bioactivity and metabolic stability. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the creation of dyes and functional materials where precise electronic properties are required.
