Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for selective substitution reactions, making it valuable in creating active ingredients with specific biological activity. Also employed in the production of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic nitro group and halogen substitutions, which enhance color stability and reactivity. Commonly utilized in research and development for designing new fluorinated and chlorinated organic compounds with tailored properties.
