Widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly insecticides and fungicides. Its structure allows for easy modification, making it valuable in developing active ingredients that target specific pests or pathogens. Commonly employed in the production of neonicotinoid-like compounds due to the reactivity of the bromo and chloro substituents, enabling coupling reactions and functional group transformations. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for constructing heterocyclic systems with biological activity. Its ester group facilitates further chain elongation or cyclization in multi-step syntheses. Preferred in industrial processes for its stability and predictable reaction behavior under various conditions.
