Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated drug candidates. Its structure allows for selective substitution reactions, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system agents. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and fungicides due to the favorable electronic properties imparted by the fluorine atoms. Suitable for coupling reactions in medicinal chemistry research and development.
