Used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and drug candidates. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with improved metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly found in medicinal chemistry for designing CNS agents, antivirals, and receptor modulators. The difluoro substitution enhances lipophilicity and membrane permeability, making it valuable in optimizing pharmacokinetic properties of new drugs. Also employed in agrochemicals for developing herbicides and pesticides with increased efficacy.
