Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Also employed in the production of agrochemicals, where it contributes to the efficacy of certain herbicides and pesticides. The nitrile and amine functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules for research and industrial applications.
