Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of fluorinated heterocyclic drugs with potential antiviral and anticancer activities. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug potency and metabolic stability. Also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules targeting enzyme inhibition, especially in kinase and protease inhibitor research. Additionally, it serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
