Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Its structure supports binding to neurological receptors, making it valuable in the synthesis of potential treatments for anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. The compound’s fluorinated aromatic system enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability, which are critical for effective drug candidates. It is also explored in the design of novel psychotropic agents due to its ability to modulate neurotransmitter activity.
