Widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients for drugs and pesticides. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in creating compounds with specific biological activities. Commonly employed in organic synthesis for constructing complex molecules due to its reactive bromo and chloro substituents. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the production of herbicides and fungicides, contributing to crop protection and agricultural efficiency. Its methoxy group enhances its utility in designing molecules with improved solubility and stability.
