Used primarily as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to the presence of fluorine atoms that enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal compounds. Also employed in the preparation of liquid crystals and specialty polymers where fluorinated aromatics contribute to thermal and chemical resistance. Commonly utilized in research and development for fluorinated analogs in drug discovery programs.
