Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly insecticides such as new-generation neonicotinoids that target the insect nervous system. It exhibits high efficacy against specific crop pests, including aphids and sucking insects. Its properties enable good absorption and distribution within plants, making it suitable for foliar spraying or root drenching applications. This compound enhances the stability of primary active ingredients in formulations and improves uptake through leaf surfaces or plant bark, making it popular in insecticide blends requiring rapid and prolonged pest control. Additionally, it is explored in pharmaceutical research for developing fluorinated compounds with enhanced metabolic stability.
