Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring fluorinated aromatic structures. Its structure allows for selective substitution reactions, making it valuable in creating complex molecules with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the production of herbicides and fungicides due to the favorable electronic effects of the fluorine and chlorine substituents. Also utilized in research and development for novel drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory conditions.
