Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antiviral and antibacterial agents. Its structure supports the creation of active ingredients in medicinal chemistry due to the presence of reactive functional groups. Commonly employed in research settings for designing kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing crop protection agents. Its chloro and carboxamide groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in building complex organic compounds.
