Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure supports cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex molecules. Commonly employed in Suzuki and Negishi reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds, enabling the creation of diverse aromatic and heteroaromatic systems. Also utilized in the research and development of organic semiconductors and optoelectronic materials due to its stable aromatic framework and halogen substitution pattern.
