Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of selective herbicides and active ingredients in crop protection agents. Its structure allows for selective reactivity, making it valuable in constructing complex aromatic compounds. Commonly employed in carbamate and nitroaromatic chemistry due to its ability to facilitate coupling reactions and functional group transformations under controlled conditions. Also utilized in research settings for the preparation of fluorinated and chlorinated organic molecules where precise substitution patterns are required.
