Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules where selective reactivity is required. Commonly employed in the development of herbicides and fungicides due to the bioactive nature of its derivatives. Also utilized in the production of dyes and pigments, particularly those requiring high thermal and chemical stability. The presence of multiple halogens allows for sequential functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it a versatile building block in medicinal chemistry research.
