Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antimalarial and anticancer agents. Its structure supports the design of kinase inhibitors due to the electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group enhancing metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also employed in agrochemicals for creating novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles. The amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and drug discovery research.
