Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its ability to enhance selectivity and stability in active ingredients. Its structure supports the development of compounds with improved environmental persistence and target specificity. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems in drug candidates, especially those targeting central nervous system disorders and antimicrobial therapies. The chloro group allows for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and process development.
