Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It plays a key role in the preparation of certain herbicides and plant growth regulators due to its ability to form stable derivatives with carbonyl compounds. Its hydrazine functionality allows it to participate in cyclization reactions, making it valuable in constructing heterocyclic compounds found in crop protection agents. Additionally, it has been employed in research settings for developing fluorinated bioactive molecules, where the trifluoromethyl group enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity.
