Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory agents. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its imidazolidinone core, which can interact with biological targets such as enzymes and receptors. Also employed in the preparation of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules where structural modification enhances activity or stability. Its chlorophenyl group aids in improving lipophilicity, influencing membrane permeability in drug design.
