Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the fluorine atom enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure supports the construction of more complex molecules in drug discovery, especially in oncology and central nervous system therapies. Also employed in the preparation of specialty agrochemicals due to its aromatic and fluorinated characteristics that improve target selectivity and environmental persistence. Commonly utilized in research settings for building blocks in organic synthesis involving electrophilic aromatic substitution or palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions.
