Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of insecticides and herbicides. Its halogenated structure makes it valuable for cross-coupling reactions in organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of pyridine-based frameworks into larger bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in the development of crop protection agents due to its reactivity and stability in multi-step transformations. Also utilized in pharmaceutical research for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles with potential biological activity.
