Used as a chiral intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals. Its structure supports the construction of peptidomimetics and enzyme inhibitors, where stereochemistry plays a critical role in activity. Commonly employed in the preparation of β-amino acid derivatives, which are valuable in drug design for enhancing metabolic stability and bioavailability. The presence of the fluoro-substituted aryl group can improve binding affinity and influence pharmacokinetic properties in final drug candidates.
