Used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactive structure makes it valuable in constructing heterocyclic compounds, especially in the development of novel pesticides and herbicides. It is also employed in research settings for the preparation of specialty chemicals requiring high reactivity and specific ring structures. Due to the presence of trichloromethyl and oxadiazole groups, it contributes to the stability and bioactivity of final products in crop protection agents. Handling requires caution due to potential toxicity and reactivity.
