Used in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical research for developing kinase inhibitors. It serves as an intermediate in creating antitumor and anti-inflammatory agents due to its ability to interact with specific enzyme targets. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances binding affinity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Also employed in agrochemicals for designing herbicides and fungicides, leveraging the electron-withdrawing properties of fluorine to improve efficacy and environmental persistence.
