Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of herbicides and plant growth regulators. It serves as a building block for pyrimidine-based compounds that exhibit biological activity, including selective inhibition of enzymes in pests or weeds. Its chloro and amino functional groups allow for easy modification, enabling the development of more complex molecules with enhanced efficacy and stability. Commonly employed in research and industrial settings for designing novel active ingredients in crop protection products.
