Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of fluorinated analogs of bioactive molecules. Its hydrazine functionality allows for coupling reactions with carbonyl compounds, enabling the formation of hydrazones, which are valuable in medicinal chemistry for building heterocyclic structures. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and central nervous system agents due to the enhanced membrane permeability and metabolic stability imparted by the fluorobenzyl group. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved activity and selectivity.
