This chemical is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various active compounds. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a building block for the development of drugs targeting specific diseases, particularly those requiring trifluoromethyl or nitrile functional groups for enhanced biological activity. In agrochemicals, it is used to create pesticides or herbicides with improved efficacy and stability. Its unique structure allows for the introduction of specific properties into the final product, such as resistance to degradation or increased target specificity. Additionally, it may be employed in research and development for the creation of novel materials or compounds with specialized applications.
