Widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It plays a key role in the production of certain antifungal and antibacterial agents due to its halogenated aromatic structure. Its trifluoromethyl and chloro functional groups enhance reactivity and stability in active compounds. Also utilized in the development of crop protection chemicals, including herbicides and fungicides, where it contributes to improved efficacy and environmental persistence. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of specialty polymers and disinfectants.
