Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients that target specific enzymes in pests or weeds, enhancing selectivity and efficacy. The presence of chlorine and trifluoromethyl groups contributes to improved metabolic stability and bioavailability in final products. Commonly employed in research settings for designing new crop protection agents and biologically active molecules.
