Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive compounds. Its structure supports the creation of herbicides and plant growth regulators due to the electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group enhancing stability and activity. Also employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other medicinal agents where the pyridine ring acts as a scaffold for drug design. Its amino and trifluoromethyl functionalities allow for diverse chemical modifications, making it valuable in research and development of new functional materials and specialty chemicals.
