Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the formation of hydrogen bonds and π-π interactions, making it valuable in drug design for targeting specific enzymes and receptors. Also employed in agrochemicals to enhance the efficacy of crop protection agents. Its fluorinated aromatic ring improves metabolic stability and membrane permeability in active compounds. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of fluorescent dyes and optical materials due to its electron-rich heterocyclic framework.
