Used in organic synthesis as a building block for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to the reactivity of the isothiocyanate group. The presence of the fluorine atom enhances its ability to participate in selective reactions, making it valuable in the development of bioactive compounds. Commonly employed in the preparation of thiourea derivatives by reacting with amines, which are intermediates in drug design. Also utilized in materials science for creating functional polymers with specific electronic properties. Its aromatic structure and reactive functional groups allow for incorporation into complex molecules requiring targeted biological activity.
