Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and biologically active compounds. Its fluorinated structure enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity, making it valuable in designing new drug candidates. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to introduce the difluoropyridine moiety into larger molecules, especially in the creation of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies. Also utilized in the manufacture of specialty chemicals where fluorine substitution improves performance, such as in materials with enhanced thermal or chemical resistance.
