Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure supports bioactive properties that enhance crop protection by disrupting pest metabolic pathways. Also explored in pharmaceutical research for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents due to its ability to interact with biological targets through hydrogen bonding and lipophilic interactions. The trifluoromethyl group improves metabolic stability, making it valuable in designing long-acting compounds.
