Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor agonists and antagonists. Plays a role in the production of drugs targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and schizophrenia. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the formulation of pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance bioactivity. Commonly employed in research settings for the construction of fluorinated heterocyclic compounds, where the fluorine atom improves metabolic stability and binding affinity.
