Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of systemic insecticides targeting sucking pests. It plays a critical role in the development of neonicotinoid-class compounds, enhancing pest control efficacy with improved selectivity. Also utilized in the preparation of pharmaceutical agents where nitrogen-containing heterocycles are required for biological activity. Its functional groups allow for easy modification in multi-step organic syntheses, making it valuable in research and industrial applications.
