Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and insecticides. Its halogenated pyridine structure enables selective reactivity, making it valuable for building active ingredients that target specific plant or pest systems. Also employed in the development of pharmaceuticals where pyridine derivatives are needed for their biological activity. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions to introduce the pyridine core into larger molecules, enhancing the efficiency of synthetic routes in crop protection chemistry.
