Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for modifying potency and metabolic stability. Also employed in agrochemical synthesis, where it contributes to the creation of herbicides and fungicides due to its ability to enhance bioactivity. Commonly utilized in research settings for constructing complex organic molecules through cross-coupling reactions and other transformations.
