Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with enhanced biological activity. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in crop protection agents and medicinal molecules due to the combined electron-withdrawing effects of fluorine and nitro groups, which improve metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in research settings for constructing complex organic molecules where trifluoromethyl and nitro functionalities are required.
