Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block in the production of certain herbicides and fungicides due to its reactive halogenated structure. Also employed in the development of organic semiconductors and conjugated materials for electronic applications, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and thin-film transistors. Its aromatic and electron-rich nature makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions for constructing complex molecules in research and industrial settings.
