Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural fungicides, particularly in the development of novel pyrimidine-based compounds with activity against resistant fungal strains. Its structure enables effective modulation of biological targets in phytopathogens, making it valuable in crop protection chemistry. Also investigated for use in medicinal chemistry due to its potential antiviral and anticancer properties, leveraging the halogenated aromatic and heterocyclic motifs for enhanced binding affinity and metabolic stability.
