Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for the introduction of fluorinated moieties, enhancing the bioavailability and metabolic stability of active ingredients. Commonly employed in the production of nicotinic receptor-targeting pesticides, it contributes to improved pest control efficacy with lower application rates. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry research for designing novel bioactive molecules due to its electron-withdrawing groups and aromatic functionality.
