Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. Its chiral amine structure makes it valuable in asymmetric synthesis for producing enantiomerically pure drugs. Commonly employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules where fluorinated aromatic groups enhance metabolic stability and membrane permeability. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry research for structure-activity relationship studies due to the combined effect of fluorine and trifluoromethoxy substituents on aromatic rings.
