Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in creating active ingredients that target specific plant or pest systems. Commonly employed in reactions where nitro group reduction or nucleophilic aromatic substitution takes place, enabling the formation of amino derivatives or other substituted pyridines. Also utilized in research settings for developing new chemical entities with biological activity.
