This chemical is primarily used in the synthesis of various organic compounds, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. It serves as an intermediate in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other fine chemicals. Its structure allows it to participate in reactions that form complex molecules, making it valuable in the development of drugs and therapeutic agents. Additionally, it may be utilized in research and development for creating novel chemical entities with potential biological activity. Its applications are largely confined to controlled laboratory and industrial settings due to its reactive nature.
