Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and fungicides, due to its halogen and trifluoromethyl functional groups that enhance bioactivity. Its structure supports the development of active ingredients with improved environmental stability and target specificity. Also employed in the preparation of pharmaceutical compounds where the aniline core contributes to binding interactions in biologically active molecules. Commonly utilized in research for constructing complex organic molecules through coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions.
