Used primarily in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure, featuring both nitro and fluoro groups, makes it valuable for constructing complex molecules, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is also employed in research settings for studying chemical reactions involving aromatic compounds, leveraging its electron-withdrawing groups to influence reactivity and selectivity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, and other fine chemicals.
