Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in antimalarial drugs. Its structure supports the development of compounds with high biological activity against Plasmodium species. Also employed in research for developing novel kinase inhibitors due to its ability to bind effectively with enzyme active sites. Shows potential in agrochemicals as a building block for pesticides with improved stability and efficacy. Its trifluoromethoxy group enhances lipophilicity and metabolic resistance, making it valuable in drug design for optimizing pharmacokinetic properties.
