Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and fungicides. Its fluorinated structure enhances bioavailability and metabolic stability in active ingredients. Commonly employed in the production of fluorinated pyridine derivatives that exhibit strong biological activity. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for creating novel drug candidates targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory diseases. Preferred in cross-coupling reactions due to the reactivity of the fluorine atom and the electron-deficient pyridine ring.
