Used in organic synthesis as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the preparation of fluorinated compounds with enhanced bioavailability and metabolic stability. Its alkyne functionality allows participation in click chemistry reactions, such as copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), making it valuable in drug discovery and development of functional materials. Also employed in the synthesis of liquid crystals and advanced intermediates for medicinal chemistry due to the combined influence of fluorine and methoxy substituents on electronic and steric properties.
