Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances bioavailability and metabolic stability in active compounds. Commonly employed in the production of selective auxin-type herbicides due to its ability to mimic plant hormones. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for constructing fluorinated building blocks in drug design, where the fluorine atoms improve binding affinity and resistance to oxidation.
