Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides. Its structure enables effective modification for active ingredients targeting broad-spectrum weed control. Also employed in pharmaceutical research for developing bioactive molecules due to the pyridine ring’s favorable electronic properties and the presence of halogen and trifluoromethoxy groups that enhance reactivity and binding affinity. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions to build complex molecules in crop protection agents.
