Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for functionalization at multiple sites, making it valuable in developing active ingredients that target specific plant or pest systems. Also employed in the preparation of pharmaceuticals where pyridine derivatives are required, contributing to the development of drugs with enhanced biological activity. Its chloro and methoxy groups facilitate coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions in industrial-scale processes.
