Used primarily in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for therapeutic drugs. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of compounds targeting neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. Additionally, it is employed in the creation of agrochemicals, contributing to the formulation of pesticides and herbicides that protect crops from pests and diseases. Its role in organic synthesis also extends to the development of specialty chemicals used in various industrial applications.
