Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and fungicides. It serves as a building block for fluorinated organic compounds, where the fluorine atom enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability in active ingredients. Commonly employed in the development of crop protection agents due to its reactivity and ability to form stable aromatic amine derivatives. Also utilized in research for designing novel fluorinated molecules with tailored biological activity.
