Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with dopaminergic and serotonergic activity, making it valuable in researching treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders such as depression, schizophrenia, and Parkinson’s disease. The fluorinated rings enhance metabolic stability and blood-brain barrier penetration, improving drug efficacy. It is also employed in the preparation of selective enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators in medicinal chemistry research.
