Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients that exhibit strong biological activity against plant pathogens and pests. The presence of chlorine and trifluoromethoxy groups enhances lipophilicity and metabolic stability, making it valuable in designing molecules with improved environmental persistence and target specificity. Commonly employed in research and industrial settings for derivatization reactions to produce more complex bioactive compounds.
