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 fluorinated pyridine structure makes it valuable in agrochemicals, serving as a building block for herbicides and insecticides with improved efficacy and environmental persistence. Also employed in materials science for creating specialty fluorinated compounds used in liquid crystals and electronic materials due to its electron-withdrawing properties and thermal stability.
