Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, 3,3'-Dichlorobenzoin plays a key role in organic reactions where chlorinated aromatic frameworks are required. Its structure supports the development of more complex molecules through transformations such as oxidation or cyclization. It is also employed in the preparation of photoactive compounds and can serve as a building block in the manufacture of dyes and specialty polymers. Due to the presence of chlorine atoms, it offers enhanced reactivity in cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in research and development of bioactive compounds.
