This chemical is primarily used in the synthesis of various organic compounds, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and crop protection agents. Its trifluoromethyl and nitro groups make it a valuable building block for creating complex molecules with specific biological activities. Additionally, it is utilized in research and development for designing new materials and chemical entities, especially those requiring halogenated aromatic structures. Its unique properties also make it suitable for use in advanced chemical reactions, such as cross-coupling and nucleophilic substitution processes.
