Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with modulatory effects on neurotransmitter receptors. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates targeting neurological disorders. The presence of the fluoroazetidine moiety enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in improving pharmacokinetic properties of active molecules. Also utilized in research settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving receptor binding affinity.
