Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in central nervous system agents and antiviral drugs. The presence of fluorine atoms improves binding selectivity and resistance to oxidative degradation, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates. Also employed in the preparation of novel agrochemicals due to its ability to influence lipophilicity and membrane permeability.
