Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its aromatic difluoro substitution pattern makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for modulating the electronic and steric properties of drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of central nervous system agents and kinase inhibitors. Also utilized as a building block in the design of novel bioactive molecules where fluorine atoms improve binding affinity and resistance to oxidative degradation.
