Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pyrethroid insecticides, this compound plays a key role in the production of agricultural and household pest control agents. Its structure allows for effective transformation into active ingredients that target insect nervous systems, offering high potency at low application rates. Due to its reactivity and specificity, it is valued in fine chemical manufacturing for building complex molecules with insecticidal activity. Handling requires care due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact.
