Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It plays a key role in the production of herbicides and fungicides, contributing to crop protection by targeting specific plant pathogens. Additionally, its structural properties make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing molecules with potential therapeutic effects, such as anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial agents. Its versatility in organic synthesis allows for the creation of complex compounds with tailored biological activities.
