Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides effective against broadleaf weeds in crops such as corn and soybeans. It functions to control early-season weed growth, reducing competition with economic crops for nutrient and water absorption, thereby increasing agricultural yields. Its structure supports the development of compounds with selective activity in crop protection and plant growth regulators. Also explored in pharmaceutical research for potential bioactive molecules due to the presence of functional groups like amino and amide, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and enhance molecular interactions. Additionally, used in agricultural chemistry research to develop new active substances that are specific and readily biodegradable in the environment.
