Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its ability to enhance the stability and bioavailability of active compounds. Also employed in the production of pharmaceuticals, where the trifluoromethyl group contributes to improved metabolic resistance and binding affinity. Additionally, it serves in the development of dyes and pigments, offering enhanced color fastness and chemical resistance. Its unique electronic properties make it valuable in the design of functional materials and specialty polymers.
