Used primarily in the synthesis of agrochemicals, this compound plays a crucial role in the development of herbicides and pesticides. Its structure allows it to effectively target and inhibit specific enzymes in weeds and pests, enhancing crop protection. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the creation of active ingredients for medications that require trifluoromethyl and chloro-substituted pyridine moieties. Its unique chemical properties also make it valuable in research and development for novel compounds in both agricultural and medicinal chemistry.
