Methyl (2-chlorophenyl)acetate is primarily employed as a key building block in the synthesis of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other chlorinated aromatic pharmaceuticals. It also finds use in crop protection chemical development, particularly for herbicides targeting chlorophenoxy acid derivatives. Researchers value its reactivity in esterification and transesterification reactions under mild conditions.
