Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports high binding affinity to specific enzyme targets, enhancing therapeutic potency. Commonly employed in research settings to design drugs with improved metabolic stability and selectivity. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the development of bioactive molecules with pesticidal or fungicidal properties. Its fluorinated aromatic core contributes to membrane permeability and overall compound bioavailability.
