Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for further functionalization in organic reactions, making it valuable in creating complex aromatic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build biaryl or arylamine frameworks found in active ingredients of crop protection agents. Also utilized in research settings for designing novel compounds with biological activity.
