Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antitumor and antiviral agents. Its structure supports the creation of complex bioactive molecules due to the presence of halogen and trifluoromethyl groups, which enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles.
