Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal candidates targeting central nervous system disorders. The electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl and fluoro groups improve binding selectivity and resistance to oxidative degradation, making it valuable in designing long-acting molecules. Also employed in materials science for creating specialty chemicals with improved thermal and chemical resistance.
