Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating compounds with high target specificity. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its stability and reactivity profile. The presence of both bromine and trifluoroethoxy groups enables cross-coupling reactions, facilitating the construction of complex heterocyclic systems in drug discovery.
