Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its structure supports the development of pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity, especially as a building block in novel insecticides targeting specific pest resistance mechanisms. The difluoromethyl group enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity, making it valuable in optimizing the pharmacokinetic properties of active ingredients. It is also employed in medicinal chemistry for designing compounds with central nervous system activity due to its ability to cross biological membranes effectively.
