Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for central nervous system (CNS) drugs. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with modulatory effects on neurotransmitter receptors. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing fluorinated heterocyclic systems, which can enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
