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 required. Its fluorinated aromatic structure makes it valuable in agrochemicals, contributing to the creation of herbicides and pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental persistence. Also employed in the production of specialty polymers and liquid crystals, where it helps modify electronic properties and thermal stability. Its unique substitution pattern allows for selective functionalization in multi-step organic syntheses.
