Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds where enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability are desired. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, due to the combined effect of fluorine atoms and methoxy group that improve lipophilicity and target binding. Also employed in research settings for the preparation of novel analogs in medicinal chemistry programs aiming at CNS drugs and anti-inflammatory agents.
