Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds that exhibit enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. The presence of fluorine atoms improves lipophilicity and binding affinity, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates. Also employed in the preparation of specialty chemicals and agrochemicals where fluorinated motifs are required for activity.
