Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for the development of active ingredients that target specific plant enzymes, improving selectivity and efficacy. Also employed in the production of pharmaceuticals, where it serves as a building block for compounds with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The presence of halogen atoms enhances reactivity and binding characteristics in final products. Additionally, it finds use in the preparation of liquid crystals and other specialty chemicals requiring high thermal and chemical stability.
