Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory conditions. Also employed in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and fungicides, where the fluorine atoms improve lipophilicity and environmental persistence. Additionally, it serves in materials science for designing liquid crystals and specialty polymers with unique thermal and optical properties.
