Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal agents. Its structure allows for effective binding in biological systems, making it valuable in agrochemicals as well, especially in fungicides targeting crop diseases. The compound's fluorinated moiety enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability, which is advantageous in designing active ingredients with improved efficacy and longer duration of action. It is also explored in medicinal chemistry for potential use in kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies.
