Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic frameworks. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of substituted benzodioxole derivatives, which may exhibit antimicrobial, antifungal, or insecticidal properties. Also utilized in the design of novel compounds for potential use in medicinal chemistry and crop protection agents.
