This chemical is primarily used in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the development of insecticides. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of neonicotinoid compounds, which are widely applied in crop protection to control pests like aphids, whiteflies, and beetles. Its role in the chemical structure contributes to the effectiveness of these insecticides by targeting the nervous systems of pests. Additionally, it is utilized in research and development for creating novel compounds with potential applications in pest management and agricultural productivity.
