Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its fluorinated structure enhances stability and bioavailability, making it effective in controlling broadleaf weeds in crops such as cereals and corn. It is also utilized in the development of pyridine-based pesticides due to its selective activity and favorable environmental profile. The compound's polarity and functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, enabling tailored formulations for specific agricultural applications.
