Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its fluorinated aromatic structure, which enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability in active compounds. Its selective substitution pattern makes it suitable for developing herbicides and fungicides. Also employed in the production of specialty polymers and resins where thermal and oxidative resistance are required. The compound's fluorine atoms allow for further functionalization via nucleophilic aromatic substitution, enabling tailored derivatization in research and development.
