Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its ability to enhance bioavailability and metabolic stability in active ingredients. Its structure supports the development of compounds with improved selectivity and environmental persistence. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for building blocks in drug discovery, especially in molecules targeting central nervous system disorders. The difluoromethoxy and methoxy groups contribute to lipophilicity and electron-donating effects, making it valuable in optimizing pharmacokinetic properties.
