Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly fungicides and insecticides, due to its ability to enhance bioactivity and metabolic stability. Its structure supports the development of crop protection agents with improved efficacy against resistant pests and pathogens. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing heterocyclic compounds with potential pharmacological activity, including anti-inflammatory and antiviral agents. The bromo and trifluoromethyl groups allow for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in the design of novel active ingredients in both agriculture and pharmaceuticals.
