Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorinated aromatic compounds enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure supports fine-tuning of electronic and steric properties in drug molecules. Also employed in agrochemical synthesis for creating herbicides and fungicides, benefiting from the methoxy and fluoro groups that influence compound reactivity and target specificity. Suitable for use in liquid crystal formulations and organic electronic materials due to its stable aromatic core and polar substituents.
