Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of selective kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure supports the design of bioactive molecules with enhanced metabolic stability and target binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing nicotinic acid derivatives with optimized pharmacokinetic properties. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to influence biological activity in fluorinated compound frameworks.
