It is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the production of antifungal and antibacterial agents. Its chiral structure makes it valuable in the development of enantiomerically pure drugs, enhancing their efficacy and reducing side effects. Additionally, it plays a role in the creation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for treating infections caused by fungi or bacteria. The compound’s fluorine atoms contribute to its stability and bioactivity, making it a key component in medicinal chemistry research and drug manufacturing.
