Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of advanced organic materials, particularly in the production of specialty dyes and pigments. It serves as a building block in the development of high-performance electronic materials, including organic semiconductors and charge-transport molecules. Its chlorinated and methoxylated structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions for creating complex aromatic systems used in research and industrial applications. Also employed in the preparation of ligands for catalytic processes and in the design of functional polymers with tailored electronic properties.
