Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of fluoro-substituted drugs where the fluorine atoms enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Employed in the development of agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, due to its ability to improve lipophilicity and target binding. Serves as a building block in liquid crystal materials for display technologies, contributing to mesogenic properties and thermal stability. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty polymers and functional dyes where fluorinated aromatic structures are required for performance enhancement.
