Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals, contributing to the creation of modern fungicides and pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles. Its trifluoromethyl and amino functional groups enhance binding selectivity and metabolic stability in active compounds. Also employed in research for novel heterocyclic compounds in medicinal chemistry due to its structural versatility.
