Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its reactive functional groups that allow for further chemical modifications. Its structure supports the development of active ingredients that target specific plant enzymes or pest nervous systems. Also employed in the production of dyes and pigments, where it contributes to color stability and lightfastness. In pharmaceutical research, it serves as a building block for heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity. The nitrile and amino groups enable coupling reactions, making it valuable in organic synthesis for creating complex molecules.
