Used primarily in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries as a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Its structure allows for the development of compounds with potential biological activity, making it valuable in the creation of new drugs, particularly those targeting specific enzymes or receptors. In agrochemicals, it serves as a building block for the production of pesticides and herbicides, contributing to the development of more effective and selective crop protection agents. The presence of both chloro and fluoro substituents enhances its reactivity, enabling diverse chemical modifications for tailored applications.
