Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated drug candidates where enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability are desired. Its structure is valuable in agrochemicals, serving as a building block for herbicides and pesticides due to the electron-withdrawing effects of fluorine atoms that improve environmental stability and target specificity. Also employed in materials science for designing liquid crystals and organic electronic materials, where fluorination influences electronic properties and molecular orientation. Its selective reactivity makes it suitable for cross-coupling reactions in advanced synthetic routes.
