Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of selective kinase inhibitors. Its structure supports the construction of bioactive molecules with enhanced metabolic stability and target specificity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs in drug discovery programs targeting inflammatory and oncological diseases. The presence of both amine and ketone functional groups allows for versatile derivatization, facilitating the formation of amide or imine linkages in complex molecule assembly.
