Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and active ingredients in crop protection agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating herbicides and insecticides with high efficacy and target specificity. Also employed in the preparation of fluorinated pyridine derivatives, which are important in medicinal chemistry for enhancing metabolic stability and bioavailability of drug candidates. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions to build complex heterocyclic systems in research and industrial settings.
