Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal candidates where fluorine substitution improves binding affinity or resistance to degradation. Also employed in research for designing novel organic materials and catalysts due to the electron-withdrawing nature of fluorine atoms, which influences reactivity and physical properties.
