Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinamide-based drugs targeting metabolic and neurological disorders. Its structure allows for enhanced binding affinity and metabolic stability in active compounds. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the fluorine atom and the amide functionality's role in hydrogen bonding. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing bioactive molecules with improved efficacy and selectivity.
