Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for various therapeutic applications. It plays a key role in the production of agrochemicals, including herbicides and pesticides, due to its structural properties that enhance the efficacy of these compounds. Additionally, it is utilized in organic synthesis for creating complex molecules in research and industrial processes, often serving as a building block for fluorinated and brominated aromatic compounds. Its unique halogenated structure makes it valuable in material science for designing advanced polymers and specialty chemicals.
