Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure supports the introduction of fluorine atoms into drug molecules, which can improve binding affinity and resistance to oxidative degradation. Commonly employed in the preparation of antifungal agents and central nervous system (CNS) active compounds. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for creating fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with improved environmental persistence and target specificity.
