Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for central nervous system (CNS) drugs and anti-inflammatory agents. Its functional groups allow for selective modifications, making it valuable in constructing complex molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions to build aryl-heteroaryl frameworks. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its halogenated aromatic structure, which enhances bioavailability and target binding.
