Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves in the preparation of active ingredients in herbicides and fungicides due to its halogenated aromatic structure, which enhances biological activity. Also employed in the development of dyes and pigments, where the bromo and chloro substituents influence color stability and reactivity. Its carboxylic acid group allows for easy derivatization, making it useful in organic synthesis for constructing more complex molecules.
