Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of fluorinated drug compounds where the fluorine atoms enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. It serves in the development of agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, due to its ability to influence biological activity in active ingredients. Also employed in the preparation of liquid crystals and specialty polymers, where fluorinated aromatic structures contribute to thermal and chemical resistance. Its reactivity allows for easy functionalization in organic synthesis, making it valuable in research and development of new fluorinated molecules.
