Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinamide-based drugs with enhanced metabolic stability. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules targeting enzyme inhibition, especially in treatments related to inflammation and central nervous system disorders. Also employed in agrochemicals for designing herbicides with improved selectivity and environmental profile. The compound’s fluorine and hydroxyl groups allow for specific molecular interactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship optimization.
