Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules that require halogenated aromatic scaffolds. Its multiple reactive sites allow for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex organic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds, it plays a role in the preparation of specialty chemicals, including potential active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal candidates. Its structural features support research in materials science, especially in designing halogen-rich building blocks for functional polymers or liquid crystals.
