Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for the development of bioactive molecules due to the presence of both chlorine and trifluoromethyl groups, which enhance lipophilicity and metabolic stability. Commonly employed in the creation of selective crop protection agents, it contributes to improved efficacy and environmental persistence in pest control applications. Also utilized in research for developing novel organic compounds with targeted biological activity.
