Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of trifluoromethyl-substituted heterocyclic drugs. It serves as a building block for hydrazine-based scaffolds in medicinal chemistry, enabling the formation of pyrazoles and other nitrogen-containing rings with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Also applied in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved pesticidal or herbicidal activity. Its bromo and trifluoromethyl groups facilitate cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in structure-activity relationship studies.
