Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure allows for the development of compounds that target specific enzyme pathways in weeds, making it valuable in crop protection chemistry. Also employed in the production of dyes and functional materials where chloro- and amino-substituted pyridines enhance stability and reactivity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in pharmaceutical research for designing bioactive molecules with potential antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory properties.
