Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. It serves as a building block in the preparation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amide and fluorine functionalities, which can enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies. Also utilized in the production of agrochemicals, where the fluorinated aromatic core contributes to improved efficacy and selectivity.
