Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of selective receptor modulators. Its structural features enable incorporation into bioactive molecules, enhancing binding affinity and metabolic stability. Commonly applied in research settings for the preparation of central nervous system-targeted drugs, especially those addressing neurological and psychiatric disorders. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel herbicides due to its halogenated aromatic backbone and heterocyclic amine functionality.
