Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and plant growth regulators. It serves as a building block in the development of crop protection agents due to its reactive chlorine and heterocyclic structure, which can be further modified to enhance biological activity. Its derivatives show effectiveness in controlling weed growth in cereal crops. Also explored for use in the formulation of fungicides owing to the thiadiazole ring’s antimicrobial properties. Additionally, it has potential applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals where the 1,3,4-thiadiazole scaffold is valued for its bioactivity.
