Used in organic synthesis, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to construct biaryl frameworks in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity, making it valuable in drug design for targeting specific biological pathways. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules where fluorine substitution improves potency and pharmacokinetic properties. Also utilized in materials science for creating fluorinated organic semiconductors and liquid crystals with improved thermal and oxidative stability.
