Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its halogenated aromatic structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Ullmann reactions, for constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the creation of active ingredients in crop protection agents and in medicinal chemistry for targeting specific enzymes or receptors due to the electron-withdrawing effect of the trifluoromethyl group.
