This chemical is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. In the agrochemical industry, it plays a crucial role in the development of herbicides and pesticides, particularly those targeting specific weed and pest species with high efficacy. Its unique structure allows for the creation of compounds that are both selective and potent, minimizing environmental impact. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a building block for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used in treatments for various diseases, including those with complex molecular targets. Its incorporation into drug molecules enhances their stability, bioavailability, and therapeutic effectiveness. Additionally, its fluorine and chlorine substituents contribute to its utility in creating compounds with desirable metabolic properties and resistance to degradation.
