Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure supports activity against specific plant pathogens by inhibiting essential enzyme pathways. Also explored in medicinal chemistry for its potential in designing bioactive molecules with improved metabolic stability and target selectivity. The presence of fluorine and trifluoromethyl groups enhances lipophilicity and membrane permeability, making it valuable in optimizing drug candidates.
