Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of fluorinated drug candidates. Its structure supports enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability in active pharmaceutical ingredients. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profile. The compound’s halogenated aromatic and trifluoromethyl groups make it valuable in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies for optimizing lead compounds.
