Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for further functionalization in heterocyclic compound development, making it valuable in creating active ingredients that target specific plant enzymes or fungal growth pathways. Also employed in the production of dyes and specialty organic compounds where bromo and chloro substitutions facilitate selective reactions. Its nitrile and amino groups support coupling reactions in pharmaceutical research, especially in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules.
