Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules targeting inflammatory and oncological diseases. Its fluorinated nicotinate structure enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the presence of reactive ester and fluorine groups, allowing further functionalization. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
