Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its reactivity and ability to form stable bonds with biological targets. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in developing active ingredients that target specific enzymes in pests or weeds. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyrimidine-based pharmacophores in drug discovery, especially in antiviral and anticancer research. The presence of chlorine and difluoromethoxy groups enhances membrane permeability and metabolic stability in final compounds.
