Used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its halogen substituents make it suitable for cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules, including potential drug candidates targeting inflammation, cancer, and central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in the synthesis of functional materials where halogenated benzamides serve as building blocks for larger conjugated systems.
