Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of selective enzyme inhibitors and bioactive molecules. Its structure supports derivatization for use in medicinal chemistry research, especially in studies targeting neurological and inflammatory pathways. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients due to its electron-withdrawing groups and aromatic stability. The compound's nitro and fluoro functionalities make it suitable for cross-coupling reactions and functional group transformations in organic synthesis.
