Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its reactive amine group and halogenated aromatic structure. Its trifluoromethyl group enhances lipophilicity and metabolic stability, making it valuable in the development of bioactive molecules. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for constructing compounds with central nervous system activity. Commonly utilized in conjugation reactions to form amides, sulfonamides, or imines for further functionalization in drug discovery and crop protection chemistry.
