Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated dyes and pigments, particularly in the production of azo dyes where the nitro group can be reduced and diazotized for coupling reactions. Its fluorine substituent enhances electron-withdrawing properties, improving dye fastness and color stability. Also employed in the preparation of certain pharmaceuticals, where it serves as a building block for active ingredients targeting anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial applications. Additionally, it finds use in agrochemical synthesis, contributing to the development of herbicides and pesticides due to its stability and reactivity profile.
