Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its fluorinated structure enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing heterocyclic compounds with potential anticancer, antiviral, or anti-inflammatory activity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new crop protection agents due to its ability to modulate enzyme activity in target organisms.
