Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in reactions where selective functionalization of aromatic rings is required. Its halogen substituents allow for sequential cross-coupling reactions, enabling the construction of complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the development of active ingredients in crop protection agents and in medicinal chemistry for creating fluorinated and chlorinated analogs of bioactive compounds. Also utilized in materials science for designing liquid crystals and organic electronic materials due to its polarity and structural stability.
