Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for therapeutic drugs. It plays a crucial role in the production of compounds with potential antibacterial, antifungal, or anticancer properties. Additionally, it is utilized in organic chemistry research for constructing complex molecules through cross-coupling reactions or as a building block in the synthesis of agrochemicals. Its halogen-substituted structure makes it valuable for creating diverse chemical derivatives with specific biological activities.
