Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Exhibits strong hydrogen bonding capability, making it valuable in supramolecular chemistry for designing sensors and molecular recognition systems. Also applied in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides due to the presence of trifluoromethyl groups, which enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Shows promise in materials science as a building block for constructing functional organic frameworks with potential use in optoelectronics.
