Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of fluorinated compounds with enhanced biological activity. Its electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl and nitro groups make it suitable for use in substitution reactions, aiding in the construction of complex aromatic molecules. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of bioactive agents, including potential antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Also utilized in the development of specialty materials where thermal and metabolic stability are required.
