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. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to the presence of both amine and amide functional groups, enabling coupling reactions in drug design. Also employed in the preparation of fluorescent probes and dyes, where the fluorine atom enhances photostability and alters electronic properties. Its structure supports use in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and plant growth regulators with improved metabolic stability.
