Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating active ingredients that target specific plant or fungal processes. Also employed in the production of dyes and specialty polymers where halogen and amine functionalities are required for coupling reactions. Its reactivity supports use in cross-coupling reactions like Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations in research and industrial settings.
