Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It plays a key role in the production of herbicides and pesticides, contributing to effective crop protection by targeting specific weeds and pests. In the pharmaceutical industry, it serves as a building block for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the creation of compounds with antibacterial or antifungal properties. Its chemical structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in organic synthesis for creating complex molecules.
