Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of fluorinated organic molecules with biological activity. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in drug design, making it valuable in creating potential active ingredients in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions to build complex aromatic systems for research in neuroactive agents and anti-inflammatory compounds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved stability and target specificity.
