Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Shows utility in agrochemicals as a building block for novel pesticides due to its stable triazine core and electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group. Employed in research for designing fluorescent probes and sensors, leveraging its aromatic structure and hydrogen-bonding capability. Also explored in materials science for creating heat-resistant polymers and optoelectronic materials.
