Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated active ingredients. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules where fluorine substitution improves target binding and pharmacokinetic properties. Also utilized in the manufacture of specialty materials requiring high thermal and chemical resistance.
