Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of central nervous system (CNS) agents. Its fluorinated structure enhances metabolic stability and blood-brain barrier penetration, making it valuable in designing antidepressants, antipsychotics, and other neuroactive compounds. Also employed in agrochemicals for creating bioactive molecules with improved resistance to degradation. The amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, enabling its use in various medicinal chemistry campaigns for structure-activity relationship studies.
