Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and anesthetics. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability due to the presence of fluorinated groups. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, especially in optimizing carbamate-based drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved environmental persistence and target specificity.
