Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the construction of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common in crop protection agents and medicinal chemistry. The bromo and trifluoromethyl groups allow for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in creating diverse compound libraries for screening. It is also employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies in research settings.
