Used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antipsychotic medications. It plays a critical role in the production of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders, particularly schizophrenia. Its structure allows for high selectivity and binding affinity to dopamine and serotonin receptors, contributing to improved therapeutic efficacy and reduced side effects in final drug formulations. Due to its fluorinated aromatic system and heterocyclic components, it enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability in active pharmaceutical ingredients.
