Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules and heterocyclic compounds. Its hydrazide functionality allows it to participate in condensation reactions, forming hydrazones and other derivatives that are valuable in medicinal chemistry. Commonly employed in the preparation of antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethyl group, which enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity in final active ingredients.
