Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of herbicides and fungicides. It serves as a building block for more complex molecules due to the presence of multiple halogen atoms and an amine group, enabling selective reactions in organic synthesis. Also employed in the development of dyes and pigments where halogenated anilines contribute to color stability and resistance to degradation. Its reactivity profile makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions for creating carbon-heteroatom bonds in fine chemical manufacturing.
