Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of selective kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic frameworks. Commonly employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in the preparation of liquid crystals and functional materials where fluorinated building blocks improve thermal and chemical resistance.
