Used as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It participates in cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of carbon-sulfur and carbon-carbon bonds. Its fluorinated aromatic structure makes it valuable in the development of bioactive molecules, where the fluorine atom can enhance metabolic stability and membrane permeability. Also employed in the preparation of functionalized thiophenol derivatives and as an intermediate in the synthesis of liquid crystals and specialty materials.
