Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its halogen substituents allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations, enabling the construction of complex molecules in drug discovery. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in target molecules. The compound’s versatility in forming carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon bonds makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry and process development.
