Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated aromatic compounds with biological activity. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. The presence of both amino and carboxylic acid groups allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules. It is also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty polymers where fluorine substitution enhances stability and performance.
