Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring fluorinated aromatic structures. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug potency and metabolic stability. Also employed in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and fungicides, where the fluorine atom enhances bioavailability and target specificity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in liquid crystal formulations for display technologies, contributing to improved thermal and chemical resistance.
