Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds. Its fluorine-substituted aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, to introduce the trifluorophenyl group into larger molecules. Also utilized in the production of liquid crystals and functional materials where fluorinated building blocks improve thermal and chemical resistance.
