Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorinated aromatic compounds enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and fungicides due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the fluorine atom combined with the methoxy group’s directing influence in electrophilic substitution reactions. Also employed in the preparation of liquid crystals and organic semiconductors, where the fluorine substitution helps fine-tune electronic properties and molecular packing behavior. Its selective reactivity makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations, for constructing complex molecules in research and industrial settings.
