Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block in the production of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive molecules due to its ability to form stable aromatic structures. Also employed in the development of liquid crystals for display technologies, where its chlorinated biphenyl structure contributes to desired electronic and thermal properties. Additionally, it finds use in research laboratories for cross-coupling reactions and the preparation of more complex organic compounds.
