Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal agents. Shows potential in developing new drugs targeting fungal infections due to its structural affinity with bioactive triazole compounds. Also investigated for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties in medicinal chemistry. Its fluorinated aryl group enhances metabolic stability, making it suitable for optimizing drug candidates. Employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to improve potency and selectivity in novel therapeutic agents.
