Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its halogenated pyridine structure which enhances bioactivity. Its selective reactivity makes it valuable in pharmaceutical development for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to introduce the pyridine moiety into larger molecules, improving metabolic stability and binding affinity in active ingredients. Also utilized in the production of specialty chemicals requiring fluorinated aromatic rings for improved lipophilicity and environmental persistence.
