Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the fluorine atoms enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the production of agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, due to its ability to improve target selectivity and environmental persistence. Also utilized in the preparation of dyes and pigments, where it contributes to color fastness and thermal stability. Its structure makes it valuable in the design of novel compounds in medicinal chemistry research, especially in the discovery of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system agents.
