Application
This fluorinated pyrazole-acetic acid derivative serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmacologically active compounds, particularly nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and kinase inhibitors. Its trifluoromethyl group is leveraged to improve drug-like properties in medicinal chemistry campaigns. Researchers also utilize it as a ligand precursor in catalytic systems and as a monomer for specialty polymers with enhanced chemical resistance. In agrochemical development, it functions as a scaffold for novel herbicides and pesticides.
