Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients requiring halogenated aromatic structures. Its multifunctional halogen groups enable selective substitution reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions for the preparation of biaryl compounds and functionalized benzene derivatives. Also finds use in the production of specialty polymers and photoactive materials due to its reactivity and structural stability.
