Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its ability to enhance selectivity and biological activity. Its structure supports the development of compounds with improved environmental stability and target specificity. Also employed in medicinal chemistry as a building block for kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules, where the chloro and trifluoromethyl groups contribute to binding affinity and metabolic resistance. Commonly utilized in research settings for designing novel compounds with potential pharmaceutical applications.
