This chemical is primarily utilized in the synthesis of herbicides and pesticides, specifically as a building block for compounds targeting broadleaf weeds and certain pests in agricultural settings. Its structure contributes to the development of agents that disrupt plant growth processes, making the resulting products effective in crop protection. Additionally, it is employed in research as a precursor for developing more specialized agrochemicals. Its main application focuses on enhancing agricultural productivity through the control of unwanted vegetation and pests.
