Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its sulfonyl chloride group readily reacts with amines and alcohols, making it valuable for introducing the 3,5-dimethylpyrazole moiety into larger molecules. This compound is also employed in the preparation of sulfonamide derivatives, which exhibit biological activity in crop protection agents. Its stability and reactivity profile make it suitable for use in controlled industrial synthesis processes.
