Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drug candidates with improved metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and heterocyclic compounds due to its fluorinated aromatic core, which enhances lipophilicity and bioavailability. Also utilized in research settings for the construction of nicotinamide-based analogs targeting enzyme modulation.
