Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and fungicides, due to its ability to enhance bioavailability and metabolic stability in active ingredients. Its fluorinated structure improves lipophilicity, aiding in membrane penetration in target organisms. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for developing bioactive molecules where fluorine substitution is critical for activity. Commonly utilized in the preparation of complex organic molecules requiring selective substitution patterns on aromatic rings.
