Used primarily as a building block in organic synthesis, especially in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its fluorinated structure enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug design. Commonly employed in the preparation of fluorinated analogs of biologically active molecules. Also utilized in the development of specialty materials where fluorine imparts desired electronic or thermal properties. Due to the nitrile and fluorine groups, it participates in various transformations such as nucleophilic substitutions and reductions, enabling diverse molecular construction.
