Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its halogenated structure allows for versatile reactivity in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki and Heck reactions, which are essential for constructing complex organic molecules. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the development of liquid crystals and other advanced materials. Its unique halogen pattern makes it valuable for studying regioselective reactions in research and industrial applications.
