Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in reactions where bromine groups serve as sites for cross-coupling. Its electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group enhances reactivity in nucleophilic substitution and metal-catalyzed reactions. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules, including antifungal and anticancer agents. Also utilized in materials science for constructing functional organic compounds with tailored electronic properties.
