Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for various therapeutic areas. It plays a role in the production of compounds with potential anti-inflammatory, antiviral, or anticancer properties. Additionally, it is employed in organic synthesis to create fluorinated aromatic compounds, which are valuable in medicinal chemistry due to their enhanced stability and bioavailability. The trifluorophenyl group in its structure contributes to the modulation of drug potency and selectivity.
