Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its highly substituted fluorobenzene ring. The electron-withdrawing fluorine atoms enhance reactivity in nucleophilic aromatic substitution, making it valuable in building complex molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for developing bioactive compounds with improved metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in the preparation of liquid crystals and specialty polymers where fluorination contributes to thermal and chemical resistance.
