Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the fluorine atoms enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its structure supports the creation of compounds with improved binding affinity to biological targets. Commonly employed in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and fungicides due to the trifluoromethoxy group’s lipophilicity and resistance to degradation. Also utilized in the research and development of novel fluorinated organic materials and specialty chemicals requiring high thermal and chemical stability.
