This chemical is primarily utilized in the synthesis of various agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of herbicides and pesticides, particularly those targeting broadleaf weeds and pests in agricultural settings. Its structural properties make it effective in creating compounds that inhibit specific enzymes or metabolic pathways in target organisms. Additionally, it is employed in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for medications, where its functional groups contribute to the desired biological activity. Its versatility in organic synthesis also makes it valuable in research and development for creating novel chemical entities.
