Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It plays a key role in the production of compounds with potential therapeutic effects, such as anti-inflammatory or anti-cancer agents. Additionally, it is utilized in agrochemical research for creating novel pesticides or herbicides, contributing to improved crop protection. Its difluoromethoxy group enhances the stability and bioavailability of the final products, making it valuable in fine chemical manufacturing.
