Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both bromo and trifluoromethoxy functional groups, which enhance binding selectivity and metabolic stability. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to build complex aromatic systems for drug discovery. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profile.
