Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antimalarial and antiviral agents. Its structure supports metal coordination, making it useful in catalysis for organic transformations. Also employed in the design of fluorescent probes due to its electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group and heterocyclic core, enhancing sensitivity in bioimaging applications. Shows potential in agrochemicals for improving stability and bioavailability of active ingredients.
