2,4,6-Trichlorobenzoic acid can be used as reactant involved in Active-sodium-promoted reductive cleavage of halogenated benzoic acids; Synthesis of aryl aminopyrazole benzamides for use as non-steroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor agonists ; Flame retardant monomer synthesis; Synthesis of 3,4,7-trisubstituted coumarins for use as antifungals and Solid-phase synthesis of saphenamycin analogs with antimicrobial activity.

2,4,6-Trichlorobenzoic Acid is a possible degradation intermediate of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in contaminated soil, suggesting the occurrence of microbial transformation processes over time.
