Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, this compound plays a key role in the development of certain herbicides and fungicides due to its stable aromatic structure and fluorinated group, which enhances bioavailability and resistance to degradation. Its trifluoromethyl and anthranilate functionalities make it valuable in creating biologically active molecules, particularly in crop protection agents where metabolic stability and membrane permeability are crucial. It is also explored in medicinal chemistry for its potential in developing anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents.
