Used in the development of pharmaceuticals, particularly as a building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its structure is valuable in creating compounds with potential therapeutic effects, such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, or antiviral properties. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in agrochemical research, aiding in the design of new pesticides or herbicides. The trifluoromethyl group enhances its stability and bioactivity, making it a key component in medicinal and agricultural chemistry. Researchers also explore its use in material science for creating specialized organic compounds with unique properties.
