Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of complex organic compounds, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It plays a key role in the development of active ingredients for drugs and pesticides due to its halogenated structure, which enhances reactivity and binding properties. Its fluorine and chlorine substituents make it valuable for creating molecules with specific biological activities, such as herbicides or fungicides. Additionally, it is utilized in research for designing novel heterocyclic compounds with potential therapeutic applications.
