Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the fluorine atom enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its amine and ester functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in constructing complex drug molecules. Commonly employed in research settings for creating analogs in medicinal chemistry programs, especially targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty organic compounds requiring fluorinated aromatic building blocks.
