Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for effective modulation of biological activity in crop protection agents. The presence of chlorine, ethoxy, and trifluoromethyl groups enhances reactivity and selectivity, making it valuable in building active ingredients that target specific pests or weeds while minimizing environmental impact. Commonly employed in the development of pyridine-based pesticides due to its stability and reactivity in coupling reactions.
