Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of systemic insecticides such as neonicotinoids that act on the insect nervous system. Its structure allows for functionalization that enhances bioavailability and target specificity in crop protection agents, especially against aphids and chewing insects. It is also employed in the development of specialty chemicals for pest control formulations, including synergists that enhance the efficacy of other insecticides and reduce overall chemical usage, due to its stability and reactivity profile. This compound has potential for development into active ingredients in precise and environmentally safe agricultural products. Limited solubility in water but good solubility in organic solvents makes it suitable for formulation in suspension concentrates and emulsifiable concentrates.
