Application
3,5-Dichlorobenzylic Alcohol is widely used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. It serves as a precursor for the production of fungicides, herbicides, and biologically active compounds due to its reactive benzylic hydroxyl group. Researchers also utilize it in the development of polymer additives and corrosion inhibitors. Its chlorinated aromatic structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions and as a building block for more complex molecules.
