Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, for constructing complex organic molecules. Also employed in the production of dyes and specialty polymers where controlled substitution patterns are required. The presence of multiple halogens allows for selective functionalization, enabling fine-tuning of reactivity in multi-step syntheses.
