Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure allows for the development of compounds with selective activity against broadleaf weeds in cereal crops. It is also utilized in the preparation of dyes and fluorescent whitening agents due to its triazine core, which enhances light stability and binding properties. In research, it serves as a building block for novel triazine-based compounds with potential biological activity, including antimicrobial and antifungal agents.
