Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of herbicides and plant growth regulators. It serves as a building block in the development of nicotinic acid derivatives, which exhibit biological activity in crop protection agents. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for the preparation of heterocyclic compounds with potential antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its chloro and amino functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in research and development of new active ingredients.
