Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its halogenated aromatic structure which enhances bioactivity. Its trifluoromethyl and halogen substituents improve lipophilicity and stability, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection agents. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for building blocks in drug discovery, especially in compounds targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to construct complex molecules in both agrochemical and medicinal chemistry.
