Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the preparation of pyridine-based derivatives with biological activity. It serves as a building block for heterocyclic compounds that exhibit insecticidal, herbicidal, or fungicidal properties. Its hydrazine functionality allows for facile ring formation or coupling reactions, making it valuable in the development of novel active ingredients in crop protection agents. Also explored in medicinal chemistry for potential antimicrobial or antiviral applications due to the chloropyridine scaffold’s affinity for biological targets.
