Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its unique structure allows it to act as a building block in the production of complex molecules, particularly those requiring halogenated aromatic compounds. In pharmaceutical research, it contributes to the development of active ingredients for various therapeutic agents. In agriculture, it aids in creating effective pesticides and herbicides by enhancing the chemical properties of the final product. Additionally, it finds application in material science for modifying polymers and coatings to improve their performance characteristics.
