Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for effective modulation of biological activity in crop protection agents. Commonly employed in the development of systemic and selective herbicides targeting broadleaf weeds. Also utilized in the preparation of fluorinated pyridine derivatives that enhance metabolic stability and lipophilicity in agrochemical formulations. Plays a role in the manufacture of active ingredients for use in both pre- and post-emergent weed control in cereals and other crops.
