Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of herbicides, particularly in the production of triazine-based weed control agents. Its structure allows for selective reactivity in agricultural chemistry, making it valuable in developing compounds that inhibit photosynthesis in broadleaf weeds and grasses. It is also employed in research for creating novel triazine derivatives with potential biological activity, including antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Due to its amine and chloro functional groups, it readily undergoes substitution reactions, enabling its use in building more complex molecules in agrochemical and pharmaceutical development.
