Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its fluorinated pyridine core enhances binding affinity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the fluorine atom, which influences reactivity and pharmacokinetic properties. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
