Used primarily in the synthesis of pyrethroids, which are a class of synthetic insecticides. These insecticides are widely applied in agriculture to protect crops from pests, in public health to control disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes, and in household products for pest control. Its structural properties make it effective in disrupting the nervous systems of insects, leading to their rapid immobilization and death. Additionally, it is utilized in research and development for creating more environmentally friendly and target-specific insecticidal compounds.
