Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides due to its trifluoromethyl group which enhances biological activity and metabolic stability. Its biphenyl structure with an amine functionality allows for coupling reactions in the production of more complex molecules, making it valuable in crop protection chemistry and medicinal research. Also employed in the creation of liquid crystal materials for display technologies, where it contributes to improving thermal and chemical resistance.
