Used primarily in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the production of more complex chemical compounds. It plays a role in the development of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the creation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) that require specific fluorinated aromatic structures. Additionally, it is utilized in agrochemical research for the synthesis of novel pesticides and herbicides, where its nitro and methoxy groups contribute to the biological activity of the final products. Its unique structure also makes it valuable in material science for the development of advanced polymers and specialty chemicals.
