Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its protected amine group allows for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors and analogs used in cancer research. Also utilized in the construction of fluorinated aromatic scaffolds to enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in medicinal chemistry.
