Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the fluoro-aniline moiety enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its tert-butoxy group acts as a protecting group during multi-step syntheses, allowing selective reactions at other functional sites. Commonly employed in the production of agrochemicals and specialty organic compounds requiring fluorinated aromatic amines. Also utilized in research settings for building blocks in heterocyclic chemistry and medicinal chemistry optimization.
