Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its fluorinated aromatic structure enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving fluorine substitution. Also utilized in the preparation of selective enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators due to its ability to influence binding affinity and pharmacokinetic properties.
