Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated drugs where enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability are desired. Its structure is valuable in creating active ingredients for anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and central nervous system medications. Also employed in agrochemicals to improve the efficacy and environmental stability of pesticides and herbicides. Additionally, it serves as a building block in liquid crystal materials for display technologies due to the influence of fluorine atoms on molecular polarity and thermal properties.
