Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its ability to enhance bioavailability and metabolic stability. Its fluorinated structure improves lipophilicity, aiding in membrane penetration in target pests or weeds. Also explored in pharmaceutical research for developing bioactive molecules where fluorine substitution is beneficial for activity and resistance to degradation. Commonly employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize potency and selectivity in new active ingredients.
