Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of certain herbicides and fungicides. Its halogenated structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions for building complex organic molecules. Also employed in the development of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine functionality and reactivity with diazotization agents. The compound’s multiple halogen atoms allow for selective substitutions, enabling fine-tuned modifications in active ingredients of crop protection agents.
