Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It plays a key role in the production of herbicides and fungicides, contributing to crop protection by targeting specific weeds and fungal pathogens. Additionally, it is utilized in the development of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for medicinal applications, particularly in the creation of compounds with potential therapeutic effects. Its fluorine atoms enhance the stability and bioavailability of the final products, making it valuable in chemical research and industrial applications.
