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 halogen functional groups allow for further chemical transformations, making it valuable in creating complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the production of dyes, pigments, and specialty polymers where thermal and chemical stability are required. Also utilized in research settings for the preparation of novel fluorinated aromatic compounds for material science and medicinal chemistry applications.
