This chemical is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and pesticides. Its unique structure allows it to act as a key building block in creating compounds that target specific enzymes or pathways in weeds and pests, enhancing the efficacy of crop protection products. Additionally, it finds application in pharmaceutical research, where it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with potential therapeutic properties. Its fluorine-containing groups contribute to improved metabolic stability and bioavailability in drug molecules.
