Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its fluorinated aromatic structure which enhances biological activity and metabolic stability. Also employed in the production of pharmaceuticals, where the difluoro substitution pattern contributes to improved binding affinity and selectivity in active drug compounds. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the development of dyes and functional materials, benefiting from the electron-withdrawing effects of fluorine atoms that influence optical and electronic properties.
