Used primarily as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for effective modification to develop active ingredients that target specific plant enzymes or fungal pathways. The presence of chlorine and difluoromethoxy groups enhances lipophilicity and stability in derived products, improving penetration and persistence in agricultural applications. Also explored in pharmaceutical research for building bioactive molecules due to its reactive amine group and halogenated aromatic framework.
