Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of neuroprotective agents and dopamine receptor modulators. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in active compounds. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the electron-withdrawing effects of fluorine atoms, which influence potency and bioavailability. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where fluorine substitution improves performance.
