Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in coupling reactions, especially in the development of herbicides and fungicides. It also serves as a building block in the preparation of more complex organic molecules where controlled substitution patterns are required. The presence of both bromo and chloro groups allows for selective functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, enabling fine-tuning of molecular properties in drug discovery and crop protection chemistry.
