Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its fluorinated aromatic structure, which enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability in active compounds. Its selective fluorination pattern allows for fine-tuning of electronic and steric properties in drug design. Also employed in the preparation of liquid crystals and functional materials where fluorine substitution improves thermal and chemical resistance. Commonly utilized in coupling reactions to introduce the tetrafluorophenoxy group into larger molecules, especially in the development of herbicides and specialty polymers.
