Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and anti-inflammatory compounds. Its structure supports the construction of bioactive molecules where fluorine substitution enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in kinase inhibitors and serotonin receptor modulators. Also utilized in the preparation of specialty dyes and fluorescent probes due to its aromatic and amino-functionalized framework.
