Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly fungicides and herbicides. Its structure enables the development of active ingredients that target specific enzymes in plant pathogens, improving crop protection. It is also utilized in the preparation of sulfonylurea-type herbicides due to its reactivity with sulfonyl isocyanates or related coupling agents. The compound’s fluorinated and chlorinated groups enhance lipophilicity and stability, contributing to improved field performance and longer residual activity in agricultural formulations.
