Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in drug discovery for targeted therapies. Also employed in agrochemical research to design novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity. The bromo and trifluoromethyl groups allow for further chemical modifications through cross-coupling reactions, enabling the creation of diverse compound libraries for biological screening.
