Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of fluoro-substituted drugs that exhibit enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the development of anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and central nervous system agents due to its ability to modulate lipophilicity and binding affinity. Also utilized in the preparation of advanced organic materials and as a building block in agrochemicals for improving herbicidal or pesticidal activity. Its difluorinated structure makes it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies during drug design.
