Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the development of neonicotinoid insecticides. It plays a role in creating compounds with high selectivity toward pest species, enhancing crop protection efficiency. Its structure supports binding to insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, making it valuable in designing systemic pesticides. Also explored in medicinal chemistry for potential bioactive molecules due to its heterocyclic and aromatic features.
