Used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly as an intermediate in developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with central nervous system activity. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of anticonvulsants and other neurologically active compounds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing herbicides and plant growth regulators due to the influence of fluorine atoms on lipophilicity and binding affinity.
