Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of various agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It plays a key role in the production of herbicides and pesticides, contributing to effective crop protection. Additionally, it is utilized in the development of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the creation of compounds with specific biological activities. Its reactivity with amines and alcohols makes it valuable in organic synthesis for forming ureas and carbamates, which are essential in drug development and industrial applications.
