Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. It serves in the production of heat-stable polymers and high-performance materials due to its halogen content and aromatic stability. Also employed in the preparation of biocides and disinfectants where chlorine and bromine functionalities enhance antimicrobial activity. Its structure allows for selective substitution reactions, making it valuable in fine chemical manufacturing and research settings for building complex molecules.
