Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated pyridine-based drugs. It plays a role in the production of certain antiviral and antibacterial agents due to the presence of both amino and nitro functional groups, which can be further modified. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for creating herbicides and pesticides with improved efficacy. Its fluorinated structure enhances metabolic stability in bioactive molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research.
