Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the fluorine atoms enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure supports the creation of more lipophilic analogs in drug design, improving membrane permeability. Commonly employed in the preparation of central nervous system (CNS) agents and anti-inflammatory compounds due to its ability to modulate electron density and influence binding affinity to target receptors. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides with improved environmental persistence and efficacy.
