Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for the development of compounds with selective activity against weeds and pests, improving crop yield. Also utilized in the preparation of certain pharmaceuticals where the difluoromethoxy and chloro-substituted aniline moiety enhances metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in research and development for new active ingredients in crop protection products due to its reactivity and functional group compatibility.
