Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its strained bicyclic structure and fluorine atoms enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. It is also employed in the preparation of novel fluorinated building blocks for medicinal chemistry, enabling selective modifications to improve pharmacokinetic properties. Additionally, it finds use in agrochemical research for creating more resilient and effective active ingredients.
