Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure enables effective modulation of biological activity in crop protection agents. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing novel bioactive molecules, including kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. The bromo and trifluoromethyl groups facilitate further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in drug discovery and materials science.
