Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and anxiolytic agents. Its structure enables effective binding to biological targets, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for drug discovery. Commonly utilized in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds with potential activity in central nervous system disorders. Also employed in research settings to develop novel bioactive molecules due to its fluorinated aromatic framework, which enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability.
