This chemical is primarily used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates. It serves as a key building block in the development of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the production of compounds with potential therapeutic effects. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating molecules with specific biological activities. Additionally, it is employed in agrochemical research for the development of new pesticides or herbicides, where its unique properties contribute to the efficacy of the final product.
