Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its halogenated aromatic structure with methoxy, fluoro, and chloro substituents enables selective functionalization and favorable solubility and reactivity properties, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal compounds. The presence of fluoro and chloro substituents allows for further derivatization and tuning of biological activity in drug design. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of complex molecules requiring regioselective substitution patterns.
