Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. It serves as a building block for more complex molecules due to the presence of both ester and chlorinated aromatic functionalities. Commonly employed in organic synthesis for constructing sterically hindered compounds. Also utilized in the development of agrochemicals and specialty polymers where specific substitution patterns are required. Its stability and reactivity make it suitable for use in coupling reactions and functional group transformations.
