Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated nicotinic acid derivatives, which show biological activity in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Particularly valuable in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to mimic natural nicotinic compounds. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing fluorinated heterocycles with potential antiviral and anticancer properties. Its amino and ester functional groups allow for easy modification, making it a versatile building block in organic synthesis.
