Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure supports the creation of complex molecules with biological activity, making it valuable in crop protection agents and medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions due to the presence of halogen groups, enabling the formation of carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. Also utilized in the manufacture of selective kinase inhibitors and herbicides.
