Used in pharmaceutical research as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly kinase inhibitors. Shows potential in the development of targeted cancer therapies due to its structural affinity for specific enzyme targets. Its chiral amine functionality allows for selective interactions in biological systems, making it valuable in optimizing drug efficacy and reducing off-target effects. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving fluorinated heterocyclic amines.
