Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its highly activated aromatic ring and multiple fluorine substituents. The presence of both amino and hydroxyl groups allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in building complex molecules requiring polarity and metabolic stability. It is also employed in the preparation of specialty polymers and liquid crystals, where fluorination enhances thermal and oxidative resistance. Its unique electronic properties make it suitable for use in materials science, particularly in organic electronics and sensors.
