Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, for building complex organic molecules. Also employed in the preparation of fluorinated analogs in medicinal chemistry to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly utilized in research settings for designing new active ingredients in crop protection agents and in the discovery of bioactive compounds.
