Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its structural features, including halogen and trifluoromethyl groups, enhance lipophilicity and metabolic stability, making it valuable in designing pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity. Commonly employed in research for creating novel insecticides and herbicides due to its ability to interact with biological targets in pest species. Also explored in medicinal chemistry for potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial applications.
