Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of selective kinase inhibitors and antitumor agents. Its structure supports the construction of bioactive molecules where fluorine atoms enhance metabolic stability and membrane permeability. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty polymers due to its ability to influence electronic and steric properties in aromatic systems. The amino and carboxylic acid functional groups allow for versatile coupling reactions, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery.
