Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated drug candidates. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in medicinal chemistry, making it valuable in creating compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules where fluorine substitution improves target binding and pharmacokinetic properties. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles.
