Used in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of biologically active compounds. Its structure serves as a building block for drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and metabolic diseases. The difluorinated ring enhances metabolic stability and influences lipophilicity, improving drug absorption and bioavailability. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize potency and selectivity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved environmental stability.
