Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the fluorine atoms enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with improved binding affinity to biological targets. Commonly employed in the production of central nervous system (CNS) agents and anti-inflammatory drugs. Also utilized in agrochemicals for designing herbicides and fungicides due to its electron-withdrawing characteristics and resistance to degradation. The amine group allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery research.
