Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves in the production of active ingredients for crop protection agents due to its halogenated aromatic structure, which can enhance reactivity and binding in target molecules. Also employed in the development of specialty chemicals, including dyes and functional materials, where selective substitution patterns are required. Its methoxy and halogen groups allow for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry research.
