Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with enhanced biological activity. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal candidates due to the combined electron-withdrawing effects of fluorine, chlorine, nitro, and trifluoromethyl groups. Commonly employed in reactions where selective aromatic substitution or coupling is required, especially in the preparation of complex molecules needing high stability and lipophilicity.
