Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its functional groups—alcohol, ether, and chloro-substituted aromatic ring—allow for selective reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules. Commonly employed in the development of herbicides and fungicides due to its ability to enhance bioavailability and stability in active ingredients. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for building blocks in kinase inhibitors and anti-inflammatory agents. The allyl group enables further modification via cross-metathesis or deprotection strategies, offering flexibility in synthetic routes.
