Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides. Its structure enables the development of active ingredients that target specific enzymes in pests or weeds, improving selectivity and efficacy. Also employed in the production of pharmaceuticals where the pyridine core contributes to bioactive molecule design, especially in compounds targeting central nervous system disorders. Its amine and chloro functional groups allow for easy modification in multi-step chemical reactions, making it valuable in research and development of new chemical entities.
