Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactive bromine groups allow for selective substitution reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the development of active ingredients for crop protection products due to the stability and bioavailability imparted by the trifluoromethyl group. Also utilized in research settings for preparing analogs in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the design of compounds targeting central nervous system disorders.
