Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports binding to enzyme active sites, enhancing selectivity and potency. Also employed in agrochemicals to improve metabolic stability and bioavailability in crop protection agents. The presence of chlorine and trifluoromethyl groups contributes to increased lipophilicity and resistance to degradation, making it valuable in designing bioactive molecules.
