Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the fluorine atoms enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. It serves in the preparation of agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, due to its reactivity in nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Also employed in the development of dyes and functional materials where fluorinated aromatic cores improve thermal and oxidative stability. Its structure allows for selective derivatization, making it valuable in research and development of novel organic compounds.
