Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting various diseases. It is also employed in the development of agrochemicals, including herbicides and pesticides, due to its fluorine-containing structure, which enhances biological activity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in organic synthesis for creating complex molecules in material science, such as liquid crystals and polymers. Its trifluoro-substituted benzene ring is valuable in modifying the properties of compounds, improving stability, and influencing reactivity.
