Used in the pharmaceutical industry as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It plays a crucial role in the development of drugs targeting neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's, due to its ability to modulate specific receptors in the brain. Additionally, it is employed in the creation of agrochemicals, particularly in the formulation of pesticides and herbicides, where its structural properties enhance efficacy and selectivity. Its fluorine moiety contributes to improved metabolic stability and bioavailability, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research.
