Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor modulators and kinase inhibitors. It plays an important role in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for treatments targeting neurological disorders and inflammatory conditions. Its nitrile and fluorinated structure enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug molecules. Also employed in agrochemicals for the creation of novel pesticides due to its reactivity and ability to improve bioavailability in active compounds.
