Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds and antidepressants. Its structure supports the formation of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and related medications. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and fine chemicals where fluorinated aromatic amines enhance biological activity and metabolic stability. Commonly utilized in research settings for the construction of complex molecules requiring regioselective substitution patterns.
