Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its structure supports the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators due to the presence of substituted aromatic rings and amide linkage, which enhance binding to biological targets in pest control agents. Also employed in research for developing bioactive molecules with potential anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial properties. The methoxy and chloro substituents contribute to improved lipophilicity and stability, making it suitable for use in formulations requiring prolonged activity.
