Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves in the preparation of active ingredients in crop protection products due to its halogenated aromatic structure, which enhances reactivity in coupling reactions. Also employed in the development of specialty chemicals, including dyes and functional materials, where selective substitution patterns are required. Its carboxylic acid group allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules.
