Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides and fungicides. Its structure supports the development of active ingredients that target specific plant enzymes, improving selectivity and efficacy. Also employed in the production of dyes and pigments due to its nitro and trifluoromethyl functional groups, which enhance color stability and lightfastness. Additionally, it serves as a building block in pharmaceutical research for designing compounds with biological activity, especially in anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents.
