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