Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with insecticidal and fungicidal properties. Its structure supports the design of compounds targeting specific enzymes or receptors in pests and pathogens. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyrazole-based derivatives that exhibit anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, or anticancer activities. Also utilized in research settings to explore structure-activity relationships in fluorinated heterocyclic compounds, where the trifluoromethyl group enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity.
