Used as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its highly fluorinated aromatic structure, which enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its electron-deficient ring makes it suitable for nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions, allowing for the introduction of various functional groups in fine chemical manufacturing. Also employed in materials science for developing fluorinated ligands in catalysis and in the preparation of specialty polymers with improved thermal and oxidative stability.
