Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated nicotinic acid derivatives, which show biological activity in agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its structure supports the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators due to the presence of fluorine and pyridine moieties. Also employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing heterocyclic compounds with potential antiviral or anticancer properties. The amino and ester functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in building complex molecules in research and industrial settings.
