Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor modulators and central nervous system agents. Commonly employed in agrochemical formulations for the production of novel insecticides due to its halogenated pyridine structure, which enhances bioactivity and selectivity. Also utilized in research settings for building blocks in heterocyclic chemistry, enabling the creation of complex molecules through cross-coupling and nucleophilic substitution reactions.
