Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of insecticides and herbicides. Its structure supports the development of active ingredients with high efficacy against pests due to the presence of bromine and trifluoromethyl groups, which enhance biological activity and stability. Also employed in research for pharmaceutical compounds, where it serves as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry to develop new drug candidates. Its reactivity allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in creating diverse chemical libraries for screening.
