Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of bioactive molecules with antifungal, antibacterial, or anti-inflammatory properties. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in research settings to design new drug candidates and in the preparation of pyrrole-based derivatives with enhanced metabolic stability due to the trifluoromethyl group.
