Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It plays a key role in the production of herbicides and pesticides, particularly those targeting weed and pest control in agricultural settings. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients, contributing to the creation of compounds with potential therapeutic effects. Its trifluoromethyl and nitro groups make it a valuable precursor in organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of specific functional groups into more complex molecules.
