This chemical is primarily used in the synthesis of complex organic compounds, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and crop protection agents. Its structure, featuring a dichloropyrimidine core, makes it valuable for creating molecules with specific biological activities, such as herbicides, fungicides, and antiviral or anticancer drugs. Additionally, it is utilized in research and development for designing and optimizing new chemical entities with potential therapeutic or agricultural benefits.
