Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and central nervous system agents. It serves as a building block for fluorinated and chlorinated aromatic compounds, enhancing metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty organic materials where halogen and amino functionalities are required for activity. Its structure allows for further functionalization via amide coupling or diazotization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research.
