Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules that require trifluoromethoxy and bromo functionalities. Its structure supports further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex aromatic systems. Commonly employed in research settings to construct inhibitors or modulators targeting enzymes and receptors. Also utilized in the preparation of novel pesticides due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethoxy group enhancing metabolic stability.
