Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its trifluoroethyl group enhances metabolic stability and lipophilicity, making it valuable in optimizing the bioavailability of active ingredients. Commonly employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to improve potency and selectivity in crop protection agents. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for designing novel pyrazole-based therapeutic candidates.
