Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. Acts as a key intermediate in the production of agrochemicals, including herbicides and pesticides, due to its ability to introduce fluorine atoms into molecules, enhancing their biological activity. Employed in organic synthesis for creating complex molecules used in material science, such as dyes and polymers. Its fluorinated phenol structure makes it valuable in research for designing compounds with specific electronic and chemical properties.
