Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive molecules. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity in drug candidates. Also employed in agrochemicals to improve herbicidal or insecticidal activity due to the electron-withdrawing effect of fluorine atoms. Serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, enabling optimization of potency and pharmacokinetic properties.
