Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring halogenated aromatic structures. Its mixed halogen substitution allows for selective functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the production of complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the manufacture of herbicides, fungicides, and certain drug compounds where fluorinated and chlorinated benzene derivatives enhance biological activity or metabolic stability. Also utilized in research and development for creating specialty chemicals and functional materials.
