Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for treating various diseases. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of molecules with potential anti-inflammatory, antiviral, or anticancer properties. Its trifluoromethyl group enhances the bioavailability and metabolic stability of the final compounds. Additionally, it is employed in organic chemistry research for constructing complex nitrogen-containing structures, aiding in the discovery of new drugs and therapeutic agents.
