Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with enhanced biological activity. Its nitro and fluoro groups make it valuable in building blocks for drug discovery, where it participates in substitution reactions to introduce functionalized aromatic rings. Commonly employed in the preparation of dyes, pigments, and specialty polymers due to its reactivity and stability under various reaction conditions. Also utilized in research laboratories for the design of novel organic molecules requiring selective halogen and nitro group transformations.
