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 utilized in the development of dyes and pigments, particularly for high-performance applications requiring thermal and chemical stability. Its amino and iodo groups allow for further functionalization through coupling reactions, making it valuable in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry research.
