Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its ability to enhance selectivity and biological activity. Its structure supports the development of compounds with improved environmental stability and target specificity. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for building nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems in drug candidates, especially those targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory conditions. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions to form C–N or C–C bonds, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and crop protection agent development.
