Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances bioavailability and metabolic stability in active ingredients. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to build complex molecules for crop protection agents. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for designing anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds due to its ability to modulate biological activity through structural mimicry of natural metabolites.
