This chemical is primarily utilized in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds and agrochemicals. It serves as a key intermediate in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that target specific biological pathways, particularly in the treatment of diseases requiring halogenated aromatic compounds. In the agricultural sector, it is used in the production of herbicides and pesticides, where its structural properties contribute to the effectiveness of these products in controlling weeds and pests. Additionally, it finds application in research and development for creating novel chemical entities with potential therapeutic or agricultural benefits.
