Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients that target specific enzymes in pests, enhancing selectivity and effectiveness. 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 building complex heterocyclic compounds for research and development in both crop protection and pharmaceuticals.
