Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its fluorinated aromatic structure makes it valuable for creating bioactive molecules with enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and other medicinal agents where fluorine substitution improves pharmacokinetic properties. Also utilized in materials science for designing fluorescent probes and functional polymers.
