Used as a potent inhibitor in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents. Its structure allows for strong hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, making it valuable in designing drugs that target specific enzymes or receptors. Commonly employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize lead compounds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing new pesticides due to its stability and bioactivity. Serves as a building block in the synthesis of advanced organic molecules requiring high electron-withdrawing character.
