Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Its structure supports the development of compounds with enhanced biological activity and selectivity. Commonly employed in research settings for designing new analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for creating herbicides due to its stable aromatic framework and functional reactivity. Suitable for use in cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions during advanced organic synthesis.
