Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its reactive nitro group and electron-deficient aromatic ring. The presence of multiple fluorine atoms enhances its reactivity in nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions, making it valuable in the preparation of fluorinated compounds. Commonly employed in the development of active ingredients in crop protection chemicals and in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules with improved metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in materials science for designing specialty polymers and liquid crystals with unique electronic properties.
