Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the preparation of herbicides and fungicides. Its reactive acyl chloride group allows for easy incorporation into more complex molecules, while the bromo and trifluoromethyl groups enhance stability and bioactivity. Commonly employed in coupling reactions to form amides or esters in active ingredients targeting plant pathogens or pest control. Also utilized in research for developing novel organic compounds with enhanced lipophilicity and metabolic resistance.
