Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antitumor agents. Its structure supports the creation of complex heterocyclic compounds with biological activity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing drug candidates targeting cancer and inflammatory diseases. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides due to the electron-withdrawing properties of the trifluoromethyl group and the reactivity of the bromine atom for cross-coupling reactions.
