Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with potential biological activity. Its structure supports the creation of more complex molecules used in medicinal chemistry, especially in the design of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. The presence of halogen and trifluoromethyl groups enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity in drug candidates. Also employed in agrochemical research for developing new active ingredients in crop protection products.
