Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its reactive halogen substituents that facilitate further chemical modifications. Its structure allows for selective substitution reactions, making it valuable in the development of active ingredients in crop protection products. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build complex molecules in medicinal chemistry.
