Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its chiral amine structure makes it valuable in asymmetric synthesis for developing enantiomerically pure drugs. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and receptor modulators due to the stability and binding affinity imparted by the trifluoroethoxy and pyridine moieties. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the development of selective herbicides and pesticides, leveraging its electron-withdrawing groups to enhance metabolic stability and target specificity.
