Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive compounds with potential antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. Its structure supports use in agrochemicals, where it contributes to the creation of novel pesticides and herbicides due to enhanced stability and reactivity imparted by the trifluoromethyl groups. Also employed in research settings for the design of new fluorinated organic molecules, leveraging its electron-withdrawing characteristics to influence reaction pathways and molecular interactions.
