Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity due to the presence of fluorinated and nitro groups. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides. Serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving amine-containing compounds.
