Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides. Its structure enables effective modulation of plant growth processes and pest control. Commonly employed in the development of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists, which are vital in crop protection formulations. Also utilized in the preparation of pharmaceutical agents due to its bioactive scaffold, showing potential in anti-inflammatory and neuroactive compound research. Its trifluoromethyl and chloro substituents enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in target molecules.
