Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules targeting central nervous system disorders, anti-inflammatory agents, and analgesics. Its unique benzyl structure with cyclohexyl and trifluoromethyl substituents enhances lipophilicity and duration of action, supporting the modulation of receptor binding affinity and making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug candidates. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved stability and selectivity.
