Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure enables selective bromination and fluorination reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents due to its ability to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles.
