Application
This compound serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of crop protection agents, particularly fungicides and herbicides targeting cereal diseases. Pharmaceutical researchers utilize it to develop kinase inhibitors and CNS-active compounds due to its balanced lipophilicity (LogP ~2.1). The orthogonal halogen substitution pattern enables sequential functionalization via Suzuki-Miyaura coupling (chloro) and nucleophilic aromatic substitution (fluoro).
