Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated and brominated aromatic compounds. Its functional groups enable selective coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing heterocyclic systems and bioactive scaffolds. Also utilized in materials science for designing organic semiconductors and fluorescent dyes due to its electron-rich aromatic core and halogen substitution pattern.
