Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and insecticides. It plays a key role in creating active ingredients that target specific pests due to its halogen substitution pattern, which enhances reactivity and binding in biological systems. Also utilized in pharmaceutical research for developing new drug candidates, especially those involving nicotinic receptor modulation. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in building complex molecules in crop protection and medicinal chemistry.
