Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules through cross-coupling reactions. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and fine chemicals where halogenated aromatic frameworks are required. Also utilized in research settings for the design of novel bioactive compounds due to its reactivity and stability under various reaction conditions.
