Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. It plays a key role in constructing complex organic molecules due to the presence of both fluoro and nitro functional groups, which allow for selective chemical transformations. Commonly employed in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorinated aromatic compounds enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Also utilized in research settings for the preparation of dyes and agrochemicals.
