Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its ability to enhance bioavailability and stability of active ingredients. Its structure supports binding to biological targets in pest control agents. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for developing kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules, where the difluoromethoxy group improves metabolic resistance and membrane permeability. Commonly found in compounds targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory diseases.
