Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated polymers, enhancing thermal and chemical resistance in high-performance materials. Employed in pharmaceuticals for the development of fluorinated active ingredients, improving metabolic stability and bioavailability. Serves as a building block in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due to its rigid aromatic structure and functional groups, enabling applications in gas storage and separation. Also utilized in agrochemicals to create more effective and stable crop protection agents. Its fluorine substituent influences electronic properties, making it valuable in specialty dyes and optical materials.
