This compound is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of herbicides and other agrochemicals. It plays a key role in the production of triazine-based herbicides, which are widely applied to control broadleaf weeds and grasses in crops like corn, sugarcane, and soybeans. Additionally, it is utilized in the development of certain pharmaceuticals, particularly in the creation of compounds with antimicrobial or antifungal properties. Its chemical structure allows it to act as a building block for more complex molecules in both agricultural and medicinal chemistry.
