Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for the introduction of fluorinated moieties, which can enhance the biological activity and metabolic stability of the final product. Commonly employed in the production of crop protection agents due to its reactivity and ability to form stable aromatic amine derivatives. Also utilized in research settings for the design of novel bioactive compounds where fluorine substitution is beneficial for lipophilicity and binding affinity.
