Application
6-Fluoro-3-methylbenzo[d]isoxazol-5-amine is primarily employed as a key synthetic intermediate in the development of CNS-active pharmaceuticals, particularly for antipsychotic and antidepressant drug candidates. Its benzisoxazole scaffold is utilized in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize binding affinity to serotonin and dopamine receptors. Researchers also leverage its reactive amine group for derivatization into amides, sulfonamides, or heterocyclic fused systems. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of fluorinated agrochemicals due to its enhanced metabolic stability.
