Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of selective kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure supports the development of bioactive molecules with enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in agrochemicals to improve herbicidal and insecticidal activity due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the fluorine atom. Also utilized in coordination chemistry as a ligand for transition metal catalysts in cross-coupling reactions.
