Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its isocyanate functional group readily reacts with amines and alcohols, making it valuable for constructing urea and urethane derivatives. Commonly employed in the development of bioactive molecules, including herbicides and fungicides, due to the electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl and bromo substituents that enhance stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for the preparation of small molecule inhibitors where halogen atoms aid in crystallography or improve pharmacokinetic properties.
