Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure supports the construction of bioactive heterocycles, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug potency and metabolic stability. Commonly employed in the preparation of fluorinated analogs of nicotinic acid derivatives, which show activity in central nervous system and oncology drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and environmental profiles.
