Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly in the production of certain herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for the introduction of fluorinated groups, which can enhance the stability and bioavailability of the final active ingredient. Commonly employed in crop protection formulations due to its reactivity and ability to form stable carbon-fluorine bonds in complex molecules. Also utilized in research and development for new agrochemicals where fluorine substitution improves performance against resistant weed strains.
