Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for central nervous system (CNS) drugs and anti-inflammatory agents. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in organic synthesis to introduce fluorinated arylacetic motifs, improving binding affinity and selectivity in target molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profile.
