This specialty chemical serves primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and pesticides. The chloro and trifluoromethoxy groups in its structure provide key functionality to the final agrochemical products, enabling effective targeting of specific biological pathways in weeds and pests. It is also employed in pharmaceutical research as a building block for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with potential therapeutic properties. Additionally, its unique properties make it valuable in material science for developing specialized polymers and coatings with enhanced durability and resistance to environmental factors.
