Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of sulfonylurea herbicides, particularly in the production of pyrazosulfuron-ethyl, a selective post-emergence herbicide effective against broadleaf weeds and grasses in rice crops. Its structure enables coupling reactions that form the core of several agrochemicals. Also investigated for use in the development of novel bioactive compounds with potential fungicidal or insecticidal properties. Solubility and stability characteristics make it suitable for formulation in water-dispersible granules and other agricultural delivery systems.
