Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for therapeutic drugs. It plays a role in the creation of compounds with potential anti-inflammatory, antiviral, or anticancer properties. Its structure allows for the introduction of fluorine atoms into molecules, enhancing their stability and bioavailability. Additionally, it is utilized in organic chemistry research for the development of novel heterocyclic compounds, which are important in drug discovery and material science.
