Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of sulfonylaminopyrimidine derivatives, which exhibit potent herbicidal activity. It plays an important role in agricultural chemistry, particularly in the development of selective herbicides that target broadleaf weeds in cereal crops. The compound's structure allows for further functionalization, enabling the optimization of herbicidal efficacy, environmental stability, and crop selectivity. Its sulfonyl and amino groups facilitate coupling reactions, making it valuable in the design of novel agrochemicals with improved performance and lower application rates.
