Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as a key intermediate for developing biologically active compounds, particularly in the production of kinase inhibitors. Shows potential in research for anticancer agents due to its structural properties that support targeted enzyme inhibition. Also employed in studies related to central nervous system disorders, where its amide and amine functionalities contribute to blood-brain barrier penetration. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving peptidomimetics and fluorinated aromatic systems.
