Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds, particularly in the production of dyes and pigments. It plays a key role in the manufacture of agrochemicals, including herbicides and pesticides, due to its reactivity and ability to introduce fluorine and nitro groups into target molecules. Additionally, it is utilized in pharmaceutical research for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive molecules. Its chemical properties make it valuable in fine chemical synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing.
