Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its trifluoromethyl group enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity, making it valuable in designing compounds with improved biological activity. Commonly employed in the creation of herbicides and insecticides due to its ability to modulate enzyme activity in pests. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems with potential therapeutic effects.
