Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated and halogenated aromatic compounds. Its multiple reactive sites allow for selective substitutions, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions to form carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom bonds. Also utilized in the preparation of functionalized benzene derivatives for materials science and medicinal chemistry research.
