Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for the introduction of chlorine and fluorine moieties, which can enhance biological activity and metabolic stability in target compounds. Also employed in the production of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic amine functionality, which supports chromophore formation. The compound’s reactivity makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions and other transformations in fine chemical manufacturing.
