Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It is also employed in agrochemicals to enhance the efficacy of crop protection products due to its ability to improve metabolic stability and binding affinity. Its trifluoromethyl and nitrogen-rich heterocyclic structure makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for optimizing drug-like properties such as lipophilicity and bioavailability. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the design of novel compounds for research in neurodegenerative diseases and inflammation.
