Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in the preparation of complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides and herbicides due to its halogenated aromatic framework. Also utilized in the production of specialty dyes and fluorescent compounds for use in imaging and sensor technologies.
