Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the development of compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also employed in the preparation of high-performance polymers, where the fluorinated groups improve thermal and chemical resistance. Additionally, it serves as a building block in liquid crystal materials for display technologies due to its polarity and molecular rigidity.
