Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its aldehyde and fluorine functionalities allow for selective chemical modifications, making it valuable in constructing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Commonly employed in the preparation of analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents, and central nervous system (CNS) drugs. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactive structure that supports molecular diversification.
