Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated pyridine-based drugs. Its structure supports bioavailability and metabolic stability, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for central nervous system agents and anti-inflammatory compounds. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the creation of herbicides and pesticides due to its electron-withdrawing properties and ability to enhance compound reactivity. Suitable for use in cross-coupling reactions in organic synthesis, facilitating the formation of carbon-carbon bonds in complex molecules.
