Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the polyfluorinated aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents and anti-inflammatory drugs. Also utilized in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and pesticides due to its electron-withdrawing properties that improve compound reactivity and environmental persistence. Serves as a building block in organic synthesis for introducing fluorinated aromatic moieties into complex molecules.
