Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and anti-inflammatory drugs. It serves as a building block in the preparation of fluorinated organic compounds, where the presence of both amino and hydroxyl groups allows for selective functionalization. Commonly employed in the manufacture of dyes and pigments due to its aromatic structure and reactivity. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for creating herbicides and fungicides with improved metabolic stability. Its fluorine substitution enhances bioavailability and binding affinity in active molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research.
