Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for the preparation of heterocyclic compounds due to its reactive chlorine and amide functionalities. Commonly employed in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, including antifungal and antimicrobial agents. Also utilized in polymer chemistry as a monomer or crosslinking agent to modify polymer properties. Its solubility in common organic solvents makes it suitable for solution-phase reactions in research and industrial settings.
