Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules that require aromatic amine functionalities. Its bromo and trifluoromethyl groups allow for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic structures. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents. Also utilized in the creation of novel pesticides and herbicides due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethyl group, which can enhance metabolic stability and membrane permeability.
