Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves in the production of certain antifungal and anti-inflammatory agents due to its halogenated aromatic structure, which facilitates cross-coupling reactions in organic synthesis. Also employed in the development of liquid crystal materials and organic semiconductors, where the chloro-substituted biphenyl backbone contributes to desired electronic and thermal properties. Its solution form allows for easier handling and dosing in catalytic reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling.
