Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for central nervous system (CNS) drugs and antidepressants. Its structure supports the creation of complex organic molecules due to the presence of both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups, enhancing reactivity in coupling reactions. Also employed in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and fungicides, where the fluorine atom improves metabolic stability and bioavailability. Additionally, it serves in the preparation of dyes and functional materials requiring high thermal and chemical resistance.
