Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its halogenated pyridine structure makes it valuable in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations, enabling the construction of complex organic compounds. Commonly employed in the creation of herbicides, fungicides, and kinase inhibitors due to the electron-withdrawing properties and stability imparted by the trifluoromethyl and halogen substituents. Also utilized in materials science for designing organic semiconductors and liquid crystals where fluorinated aromatic systems enhance performance.
