Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated drug candidates where enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability are desired. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in central nervous system agents and anti-inflammatory compounds. Also employed in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and pesticides, leveraging the electron-withdrawing effects of fluorine to improve biological activity. Additionally, it serves in materials science for designing liquid crystals and functional polymers with specific electronic properties.
