Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its unique structure makes it valuable in creating compounds with specific biological activities. Also employed in organic chemistry research for studying reaction mechanisms and developing new synthetic methods. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the production of agrochemicals, aiding in the creation of pesticides or herbicides with enhanced efficacy. Its halogenated aromatic properties make it useful in material science for designing advanced polymers or specialty chemicals.
