This chemical is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the development of insecticides. It plays a key role in the production of neonicotinoid-class pesticides, which are widely applied to protect crops from pests. These insecticides are effective in controlling a broad spectrum of insects, including aphids, whiteflies, and beetles, contributing to improved agricultural yields. Additionally, its structural properties make it valuable in research for designing novel compounds with enhanced efficacy and reduced environmental impact.
