Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorinated aromatic diamines enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Its structure supports the construction of heterocyclic compounds like benzimidazoles, which are common in drugs targeting inflammation, infections, and central nervous system disorders. Also employed in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and fungicides due to the fluorine atom’s influence on lipophilicity and bioavailability. Additionally, it serves in research settings for labeling and probe development in medicinal chemistry.
