Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as an intermediate for developing bioactive molecules, particularly in the production of central nervous system agents and receptor modulators. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances binding affinity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in the development of antidepressants, antipsychotics, and cognitive enhancers due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
