Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of herbicides and fungicides. It serves as a building block in organic reactions where selective bromination and chlorination are required for further functionalization. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to construct complex aromatic systems. Also utilized in the development of dyes and specialty chemicals due to its halogen substitution pattern that allows for controlled reactivity.
