This chemical is primarily used in the synthesis of complex organic compounds, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It serves as a key intermediate in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and crop protection agents. Its unique structure, featuring halogen and difluoromethoxy groups, makes it valuable for creating molecules with specific biological activities. Additionally, it is employed in research and development for designing novel compounds with potential therapeutic or pesticidal properties. Its versatility in chemical reactions also makes it a useful building block in organic synthesis.
