Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of various agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. It plays a key role in the production of herbicides and pesticides, contributing to crop protection by targeting specific weeds and pests. Additionally, it is utilized in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs, particularly in the creation of compounds with antibacterial or antifungal properties. Its chemical structure allows for further functionalization, making it a versatile building block in organic synthesis.
