Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other central nervous system agents. Its structure supports the formation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both amino and trifluoromethyl functional groups, which enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex drug scaffolds, especially in antidepressants and anxiolytic drugs. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved efficacy and environmental stability.
