Used primarily in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of neonicotinoid insecticides. These insecticides are effective in controlling a variety of pests in agricultural settings, including aphids, whiteflies, and beetles. The compound serves as a key intermediate in the development of these pesticides, contributing to their potency and specificity. Additionally, it finds application in research and development for creating novel chemical entities with potential insecticidal properties. Its role in these processes highlights its importance in enhancing crop protection and improving agricultural productivity.
