Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides due to its ability to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its trifluoromethyl group contributes to improved lipophilicity and resistance to oxidative degradation, making it valuable in designing active ingredients with prolonged environmental persistence and efficacy. Also employed in the preparation of pyrazole-based dyes and functional materials where electron-withdrawing properties are required.
