This chemical is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its unique halogenated structure makes it valuable for developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and crop protection agents. It is often employed in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig reactions, to create biologically active molecules. Additionally, it serves as a building block for specialty chemicals used in research and development, particularly in the study of halogenated aromatic compounds. Its applications are focused on enabling the production of high-value, functionalized materials for advanced chemical processes.
