Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of antifungal and anticancer compounds. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules by serving as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group and pyrimidine ring, which enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
