Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other bioactive molecules. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of active ingredients in crop protection agents due to improved lipophilicity and resistance to degradation. Also utilized in the manufacture of specialty materials requiring thermal and chemical resistance.
