Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex bioactive molecules. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its halogenated aromatic framework, which enhances biological activity and stability. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds in drug discovery pipelines.
