Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure allows for derivatization into active ingredients that target specific enzymes in weeds, improving selectivity and efficacy. Also employed in the development of pharmaceuticals, where it serves as a building block for kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its amino and chloro functional groups enable easy modification for structure-activity relationship studies in drug discovery. Additionally, it finds use in the preparation of coordination compounds and catalysts in organic transformations.
