Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its structure supports the introduction of sulfonyl and trifluoromethyl groups, which can enhance metabolic stability and lipophilicity in target molecules. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyrimidine-based scaffolds with potential antifungal, antibacterial, or kinase inhibitory activity. Also utilized in research settings to develop novel functional materials and fluorinated organic compounds.
