Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It plays a role in the production of compounds with potential therapeutic applications, such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, or anticancer agents. The fluorine atom in its structure enhances the biological activity and stability of the resulting molecules. Additionally, it is utilized in organic chemistry research for the preparation of complex molecules through various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Its application extends to agrochemicals, where it contributes to the creation of novel pesticides or herbicides.
