Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders. Its structure supports the creation of selective enzyme inhibitors and receptor modulators. The presence of both methylamine and trifluoromethoxy groups enhances metabolic stability and membrane permeability, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles.
