Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system agents. Its structure allows for selective binding in biological targets, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where fluorinated heterocycles enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the design of novel pesticides due to its ability to improve compound lipophilicity and target specificity.
