Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the introduction of fluorine into bioactive molecules, enhancing metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and fluorescent dyes due to its aromatic amine functionality and fluorine substitution. Commonly utilized in research settings for building blocks in heterocyclic chemistry.
