Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds. Its structure supports the design of bioactive molecules due to the presence of electron-withdrawing nitro and trifluoromethyl groups, which enhance binding affinity to biological targets. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides with improved stability and efficacy.
