Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated organic compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where the fluorine atom enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability. It serves in the preparation of dyes and fluorescent probes due to the naphthalene core's inherent photophysical properties. Also employed in materials science for developing organic semiconductors and liquid crystals, where the amine group allows for further functionalization and the fluorine substituent fine-tunes electronic characteristics.
