This chemical is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and pesticides. Its unique structure allows it to be incorporated into compounds that target specific weeds or pests, enhancing crop protection and yield. Additionally, it finds application in the pharmaceutical industry, where it serves as a building block for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with potential therapeutic properties. Its utility in organic synthesis also extends to the production of specialty chemicals used in materials science and industrial processes.
