Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for treating various diseases. It plays a key role in the production of agrochemicals, including herbicides and insecticides, due to its trifluoromethyl group, which enhances biological activity. Additionally, it is employed in organic synthesis to create complex molecules for research and industrial applications. Its unique structure makes it valuable in the development of materials with specific chemical properties.
