Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system agents and antiviral drugs. Its structure allows for selective binding in biologically active molecules, enhancing metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and nicotinic receptor modulators. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the creation of herbicides and pesticides due to its ability to improve compound persistence and target specificity.
