Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) drugs. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with dopaminergic or serotonergic activity, making it valuable in researching treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and Parkinson’s disease. The amine group allows for easy functionalization, enabling the formation of amide or sulfonamide derivatives in drug design. Its fluorinated ring system enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, improving bioavailability in final drug candidates.
