Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of active ingredients in crop protection agents. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with enhanced biological activity, stability, and selectivity. Commonly employed in the manufacture of herbicides and insecticides due to its ability to modulate specific enzymatic pathways in pests. Also utilized in research settings for the preparation of novel fluorinated organic molecules, where the trifluoromethyl group contributes to improved metabolic resistance and lipophilicity.
