Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and insecticides. It plays a key role in creating active ingredients that target weed and pest control in crops. Also utilized in the development of pharmaceuticals, where it contributes to the structure of certain bioactive molecules. Its reactivity allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in organic synthesis for building more complex pyridine-based compounds. Commonly employed in research and industrial settings for creating novel compounds with potential biological activity.
