Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural and pharmaceutical active ingredients. Its structure supports the development of fungicides and insecticides, particularly in systemic crop protection agents. The bromo and trifluoromethyl groups enhance reactivity and bioavailability, making it valuable in creating compounds with high biological activity. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to build complex heterocyclic systems for agrochemicals and medicinal chemistry.
