Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its aromatic structure with halogen substituents makes it suitable for building active ingredients in herbicides and anti-inflammatory agents. Commonly employed in organic synthesis to introduce the 3,5-dichlorophenyl moiety, enhancing lipophilicity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty polymers and functional materials where halogenated aromatics are required for crosslinking or performance properties.
