Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors. Its structure supports functionalization at multiple sites, enabling the construction of complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification to enhance binding affinity and selectivity in drug candidates. Also applied in materials science for designing electron-transport materials in optoelectronic devices due to its rigid aromatic framework and halogen substitution that influences electronic properties.
