Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Plays a key role in the development of active compounds for medicinal chemistry, particularly in the creation of antifungal and antibacterial agents. Also employed in the production of dyes and pigments due to its ability to introduce specific functional groups into complex molecules. Its trifluoromethyl group enhances the stability and bioavailability of the final products, making it valuable in drug discovery and material science.
