This chemical is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It plays a crucial role in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for various therapeutic applications, particularly in the creation of compounds with anti-inflammatory or analgesic properties. Additionally, it is utilized in the production of herbicides and pesticides, where its structural properties contribute to the efficacy of the final product. Its fluorine and trifluoromethyl groups enhance the stability and biological activity of the compounds it helps to create.
