Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its halogen and nitro functional groups, which allow further chemical transformations. The compound serves in the preparation of active ingredients in crop protection agents, particularly herbicides and fungicides, where the nitro group can be reduced to an amine for coupling reactions. Also applied in research for developing novel anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial agents through derivatization of the aromatic ring system. Its structural features make it suitable for use in cross-coupling reactions in medicinal chemistry.
