Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and kinase inhibitors. Its nitrile and amine functional groups allow for versatile coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex drug molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive compounds where fluorine substitution enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in the manufacture of agrochemicals and fluorescent probes due to its aromatic fluorine and reactive amine group.
