Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of certain pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structure supports the development of bioactive molecules, particularly in the design of herbicides and fungicides due to the presence of dichlorophenyl and amide functional groups. The compound's lipophilic nature enhances membrane permeability, making it valuable in optimizing the delivery and efficacy of active ingredients in crop protection agents. Additionally, it serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for exploring new analogs with potential anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial activity.
