Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fungicides and herbicides. Its aromatic and heterocyclic structure makes it valuable in constructing bioactive molecules. It is also employed in organic synthesis to introduce the 3,5-dichlorophenylfuryl moiety, which can enhance the lipophilicity and stability of target compounds. Additionally, it has been explored in the preparation of fluorescent dyes and sensors due to the aldehyde group’s reactivity and the furan ring’s electronic properties.
