Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and optical brighteners for textiles and paper. It also serves in the production of agrochemicals, including herbicides and plant growth regulators, due to its reactivity with nucleophiles. Its triazine ring structure makes it valuable in the development of covalent organic frameworks and specialty polymers. Additionally, it finds use in research for designing novel compounds in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the creation of triazine-based inhibitors.
