Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its stable trifluoromethyl groups and hydrazide functionality. Its electron-withdrawing substituents enhance reactivity in condensation reactions, making it valuable in constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Also employed in the development of specialty polymers where thermal and chemical resistance are required. Shows potential in medicinal chemistry for designing enzyme inhibitors owing to the strong hydrogen bonding and dipole interactions provided by the sulfonic acid and trifluoromethyl moieties.
