Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the preparation of substituted aromatic compounds. Its halogen groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in organic synthesis for constructing complex molecules. Commonly employed in the development of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive compounds due to its ability to modify molecular structure and enhance reactivity. Also utilized in research settings for labeling and derivatization reactions.
