Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its fluorinated pyridine structure enhances bioavailability and target specificity in crop protection agents. Also explored in pharmaceutical research for its potential in creating fluorine-containing bioactive molecules, where the difluoromethyl group improves metabolic stability and membrane permeability. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its ability to modulate electronic and steric properties in drug candidates.
