Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It plays a key role in the production of certain herbicides and fungicides due to its halogenated aromatic structure, which enhances bioactivity. Also employed in the development of dyes and pigments, particularly for high-performance applications requiring thermal and chemical stability. Its reactivity allows for further functionalization in multi-step organic syntheses, making it valuable in research and industrial settings for creating complex molecules.
