Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its structure allows for the creation of compounds that target specific enzymes or pathways in pests and pathogens. Additionally, it plays a role in the production of active ingredients for crop protection, enhancing yield and resistance to diseases. In pharmaceutical research, it serves as a building block for designing molecules with potential therapeutic applications, such as antiviral or anticancer agents.
