Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor modulators. Plays a role in creating active ingredients for drugs targeting neurological disorders such as depression, anxiety, and cognitive dysfunction. Its fluorinated structure enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability in final drug compounds. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to influence biochemical pathways in plants. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving heterocyclic compounds.
