Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and biologically active compounds. Its chiral amine structure makes it valuable in asymmetric synthesis, where stereochemistry plays a key role in the efficacy of the final product. Commonly employed in the preparation of herbicides and fungicides due to the presence of fluorinated groups that enhance lipophilicity and metabolic stability. Also serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for designing compounds with improved binding affinity and selectivity toward target enzymes or receptors.
