Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It plays a key role in the production of active ingredients for drugs targeting various therapeutic areas, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents. In agrochemicals, it contributes to the development of herbicides and pesticides, enhancing their efficacy and specificity. Its trifluoromethyl group is particularly valuable in improving the metabolic stability and bioavailability of the final compounds. Additionally, it finds application in the preparation of dyes and pigments, where it imparts unique color properties and stability to the materials.
