Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for effective modulation of biological activity in crop protection agents. Commonly employed in the development of pyridine-based active ingredients due to the electron-withdrawing properties of the trifluoroethoxy and chloro groups, which enhance stability and target specificity. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for constructing fluorinated heterocyclic compounds with potential pharmacological activity.
