Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in antifungal and antimicrobial agents. Its structure supports the development of bioactive molecules due to the presence of halogen and trifluoromethyl groups, which enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profile. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving heterocyclic compounds.
