Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its highly fluorinated aromatic ring and reactive amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. Its electron-deficient structure enhances metabolic stability in drug candidates, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing bioactive molecules. Also employed in the development of specialty polymers and dyes where thermal and chemical resistance are required. The compound's unique fluorination pattern allows for selective derivatization, enabling fine-tuning of molecular properties in advanced materials and active ingredients.
