Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly in the production of neonicotinoid insecticides. It plays an important role in crop protection agents due to its ability to enhance the systemic activity of pesticides. Also utilized in the development of pharmaceuticals, where it serves as a building block for biologically active compounds, including those with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Its reactivity and stability make it suitable for use in various heterocyclic syntheses in medicinal and agrochemical research.
