Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its ability to enhance selectivity and efficacy in crop protection agents. Its structure supports the development of active ingredients that target specific pest metabolic pathways while minimizing environmental impact. Also employed in the preparation of pharmaceuticals where chlorinated pyridine derivatives contribute to bioactive molecule design, especially in antiviral and anti-inflammatory compounds. The isopropoxy group improves lipophilicity, aiding in membrane penetration and overall compound bioavailability.
