Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules, including kinase inhibitors and antitumor agents. Also utilized in materials science for designing fluorinated organic semiconductors and liquid crystals due to its electron-withdrawing properties and structural rigidity.
