This chemical is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries as a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex compounds. Its structure makes it valuable for developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the creation of antibiotics and antimicrobial agents. The presence of fluorine and chlorine atoms enhances its reactivity, allowing it to be incorporated into molecules with potential therapeutic properties. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the production of agrochemicals, such as herbicides and pesticides, due to its ability to interact with biological targets effectively. Researchers also explore its use in material science for developing advanced organic materials with specific electronic or optical properties.
