Used as a chiral intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its oxazole core and trifluoromethylpyridine moiety contribute to enhanced metabolic stability and binding selectivity. Commonly employed in the development of kinase inhibitors and receptor modulators due to its favorable pharmacokinetic properties and stereochemical configuration. Also utilized in agrochemicals for improving potency and environmental stability of active ingredients.
