Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for effective modification to develop compounds with enhanced biological activity. Commonly employed in reactions where halogenated pyridine derivatives are needed to build more complex molecules. Shows utility in creating active ingredients that target specific enzymes or receptors in pests, contributing to crop protection. Also explored in pharmaceutical research for potential bioactive molecule development due to its stability and reactivity profile.
