Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports the design of compounds with high selectivity and potency in targeting specific signaling pathways. Also utilized in agrochemicals for creating novel pesticides due to its ability to enhance bioactivity and metabolic stability. The bromo and difluoromethyl groups enable further functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies.
