Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated benzodiazepines and other central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules with enhanced metabolic stability and receptor binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing fluorinated aromatic scaffolds in drug candidates. Also utilized in the preparation of local anesthetics and anti-inflammatory compounds due to its amine and ester functionalities, which allow for easy derivatization.
