Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides. It plays a key role in the production of selective chloroacetanilide-type herbicides, which are effective in controlling weeds in crops such as corn and soybeans. Its fluorinated and chlorinated structure enhances the stability and biological activity of the final pesticide products. Also utilized in the development of specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals where halogenated anilines are required for building complex molecules. Due to its reactivity, it is valued in organic synthesis for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles and functionalized aromatic compounds.
