Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure supports binding to enzyme active sites, enhancing selectivity and potency. Also employed in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and insecticides due to the stability and bioavailability imparted by the trifluoromethyl group. The amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building more complex molecules.
