Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of compounds with potential therapeutic effects. Plays a role in the production of agrochemicals, contributing to the creation of pesticides and herbicides. Utilized in organic chemistry research for the construction of complex molecules due to its reactive halogen sites. Also employed in material science for the development of specialty chemicals and functional materials. Its unique structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, which are essential in drug discovery and industrial chemistry.
