Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents. Its structure supports enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds where fluorine substitution improves target binding and pharmacokinetic properties. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and pesticides due to its electron-withdrawing characteristics and resistance to degradation.
