Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Its structure supports the development of active ingredients that target specific enzymes in pests, unwanted plants, or fungi, offering high efficacy with lower environmental impact. The compound’s electron-withdrawing groups enhance stability and reactivity, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic systems for crop protection agents. It is also explored in the development of pharmaceuticals due to its potential bioactivity and ability to participate in cross-coupling reactions for drug-like molecule assembly.
