Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its multiple halogen substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling the construction of complex aromatic systems. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules where halogenated benzene derivatives serve as key structural motifs. Also utilized in materials science for synthesizing conjugated polymers and organic semiconductors due to its ability to undergo metal-catalyzed transformations.
