Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of certain antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs. Also employed in the development of agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, due to its ability to enhance bioactivity in active ingredients. Its halogenated structure makes it valuable in organic synthesis for constructing complex molecules through cross-coupling reactions. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the creation of specialty polymers and dyes where thermal and chemical stability are required.
