Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of sulfonylurea herbicides, this compound plays a key role in agricultural chemistry for developing selective weed control agents. Its structure enables effective binding to plant enzyme targets, inhibiting growth in unwanted vegetation without significant impact on crops when applied correctly. It is particularly valuable in the production of high-efficiency herbicides for use in cereals and other broad-acre farming systems. The compound’s sulfamoyl and chloro functionalities contribute to its reactivity and specificity in forming active agrochemical ingredients.
