Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for various therapeutic applications. It is also employed in organic synthesis to create complex molecules for agrochemicals, such as herbicides and pesticides. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the production of dyes and pigments, contributing to the coloration of materials. Its nitro and fluoro groups make it a valuable reagent in cross-coupling reactions, which are essential in creating advanced materials and fine chemicals.
