Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It plays a significant role in the production of agrochemicals, including pesticides and herbicides, due to its reactivity and ability to introduce fluorine into organic molecules. Additionally, it is employed in research and development for creating novel compounds with potential biological activity, especially in medicinal chemistry. Its application extends to the preparation of fluorinated heterocycles, which are valuable in drug discovery and material science.
