Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It serves as a building block in the preparation of hydrazide-hydrazone derivatives, which are studied for their pharmacological activities, including anticonvulsant and analgesic effects. Also employed in medicinal chemistry research for designing novel heterocyclic compounds targeting central nervous system disorders. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances binding affinity and metabolic stability in drug design.
