Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure supports the creation of biologically active molecules by serving as a building block in cross-coupling reactions. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for modifying pyridine-based scaffolds to enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides due to its fluorinated aromatic core, which improves lipophilicity and bioavailability.
