Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated drug candidates where the nitro and carboxylic acid groups allow for further functionalization. Its structure supports the creation of biologically active molecules, especially in medicinal chemistry for designing enzyme inhibitors or receptor ligands. Also employed in agrochemical research for building complex aromatic compounds with enhanced metabolic stability. The presence of fluorine atoms improves lipophilicity and bioavailability in final products.
