Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active ingredients for central nervous system (CNS) drugs and analgesics. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of fluorinated analogs for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Also utilized in the production of agrochemicals and specialty organic compounds where fluorine substitution improves performance.
