Used primarily in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the production of more complex chemical compounds. It plays a role in the development of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the creation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that require specific fluorine-substituted aromatic structures. Additionally, it is employed in the synthesis of agrochemicals, where its nitro and fluoro groups contribute to the biological activity of pesticides or herbicides. Its unique structure also makes it valuable in material science for designing advanced polymers or coatings with specialized properties.
