Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the creation of fluorinated organic compounds, which often exhibit enhanced metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing fluorinated aromatic building blocks used in drug discovery programs. Also utilized in the preparation of novel pesticides due to the presence of multiple fluorine atoms and trifluoromethyl group, which can improve lipophilicity and environmental persistence.
