Used as a chiral intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in pharmaceuticals targeting central nervous system disorders. Its oxazole core and trifluoromethylpyridine moiety enhance binding selectivity and metabolic stability. Commonly employed in asymmetric synthesis to introduce stereochemical control in drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemicals for developing enantioselective herbicides and pesticides due to its structural rigidity and resistance to degradation.
