Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability are desired. Its structure supports the creation of complex molecules in medicinal chemistry, especially in drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Also employed in agrochemicals to improve the efficacy and environmental stability of crop protection agents. The compound’s fluorinated aromatic core makes it valuable in materials science for designing liquid crystals and specialty polymers with unique electronic properties.
