Used primarily in pharmaceutical research as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly those targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports development of agents with potential antidepressant, anxiolytic, or cognitive-enhancing effects. The compound’s fluorinated aryl group and amine functionality make it valuable for optimizing binding affinity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. It is also explored in the design of selective receptor modulators, including those acting on serotonin and dopamine pathways.
