Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents. It serves as a building block for bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amine and fluorophenyl groups, which enhance binding selectivity and metabolic stability. Commonly employed in the preparation of antidepressants, antipsychotics, and other neurologically active compounds. Also utilized in the creation of chiral catalysts and ligands for asymmetric synthesis. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
