Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides. Its halogen and nitro functional groups allow for selective substitutions, making it valuable in constructing complex pyridine-based molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to introduce aromatic rings or other functional moieties in active ingredient design. Also utilized in research for developing novel bioactive compounds with potential antimicrobial or antifungal properties.
