Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural and pharmaceutical active ingredients. Its structure supports the development of herbicides and fungicides, particularly in crop protection products targeting broadleaf weeds and fungal pathogens. The compound's trifluoromethyl and chloro groups enhance its reactivity and binding selectivity, making it valuable in designing molecules with improved stability and biological activity. It is also employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyrimidine-based drug candidates, especially in kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents.
