Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the production of fluorinated compounds with enhanced biological activity. It serves in the development of dyes and pigments due to its electron-donating properties and stability. Also employed in the preparation of specialty polymers and liquid crystals, where the fluorine substituent improves thermal and oxidative stability. Its reactivity makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions and other transformations in medicinal chemistry research.
