Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for treating various diseases. It plays a role in the production of compounds with potential antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. Additionally, it is utilized in agrochemical research for creating novel pesticides and herbicides. The three fluorine atoms on its benzene ring enhance the stability and bioavailability of the final products, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry.
