Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of neonicotinoid insecticides, this compound plays a key role in developing crop protection agents that target sucking insects such as aphids, whiteflies, and planthoppers. Its structure enables high affinity for insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, making it valuable in creating systemic pesticides applied in seed treatments, soil drenches, and foliar sprays. Due to its biological activity and stability, it contributes to long-lasting pest control in agriculture, especially in cereals, cotton, and vegetables. Its application supports integrated pest management strategies by offering an effective mode of action against resistant insect populations.
