Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic molecules, particularly in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its multiple halogen atoms allow selective cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic structures. Commonly employed in palladium-catalyzed reactions such as Suzuki or Heck couplings to introduce aryl groups in drug development. Also utilized in materials science for designing organic semiconductors and liquid crystals due to its ability to influence electronic properties and molecular packing.
