Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds with enhanced biological activity. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorine substitution improves metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in research settings for designing novel drug candidates, especially in oncology and central nervous system therapies. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for developing bioactive molecules with improved environmental stability and efficacy.
