Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for effective modification to enhance bioactivity and selectivity in crop protection agents. Commonly employed in the development of pyridine-based active ingredients that target specific enzymes in pests or weeds, improving efficacy while reducing environmental impact. Also utilized in research for new agrochemical formulations due to its stability and reactivity in coupling reactions.
