Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antifungal and anticancer agents. Its structure supports the creation of biologically active molecules due to the presence of both bromo and trifluoromethyl groups, which enhance reactivity and binding affinity. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to build complex heterocyclic systems. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing new active ingredients with improved stability and efficacy.
