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 and nitro-substituted structure makes it valuable for constructing complex aromatic systems found in bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other medicinal agents where fluorine and chlorine substituents enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in materials science for designing functionalized organic semiconductors and sensors.
