Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active ingredients for agrochemicals and medicinal compounds. Its structure supports the creation of more complex molecules with enhanced biological activity. Commonly employed in the production of herbicides and fungicides due to the stability and reactivity imparted by the trifluoromethyl and chloro groups. Also utilized in research settings for designing new compounds with potential therapeutic effects, especially in central nervous system agents and anti-inflammatory drugs.
