Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals with potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Its structure supports activity in medicinal chemistry research, especially in studies targeting enzyme inhibition. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides due to the presence of trifluoromethyl and nitro groups, which enhance bioavailability and stability. Commonly utilized in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize lead compounds.
