Used primarily in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It serves as a key intermediate in the production of drugs targeting neurological disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Its unique structure allows for the introduction of specific functional groups, enhancing the efficacy and selectivity of the final drug molecule. Additionally, it finds application in organic synthesis for creating complex molecules with potential therapeutic properties. Its fluorine and ethoxy groups make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug interactions and metabolic stability.
