This chemical is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammation. Its trifluoromethoxy group enhances the biological activity and metabolic stability of the compounds it helps create. In agrochemicals, it is employed in the development of pesticides and herbicides, where its structure contributes to the efficacy and selectivity of the final products. Additionally, it is used in research and development for creating novel compounds with potential therapeutic or agricultural applications.
