Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring fluorinated aromatic structures. Its functional groups allow for coupling reactions in the production of anti-inflammatory and central nervous system agents. Also employed in agrochemical synthesis for creating herbicides and pesticides due to the stability and bioavailability imparted by the fluorine substituents. The compound’s structure supports improved metabolic resistance in drug design, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing lead compounds.
