Used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for therapeutic drugs. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of compounds with anti-inflammatory, analgesic, or antimicrobial properties. Applied in organic synthesis to create complex molecules through esterification and coupling reactions. Also utilized in research and development for designing novel chemical entities with potential biological activity. Its fluorinated structure enhances the stability and bioavailability of resulting compounds, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry.
