Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity in drug candidates. Commonly employed in agrochemicals to improve pesticidal and herbicidal activity due to its lipophilicity and resistance to degradation. Also utilized in materials science for designing organic semiconductors and fluorescent probes, where the amine functionality allows for further functionalization and conjugation.
