Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly neonicotinoid insecticides like imidacloprid, which act on the insect nervous system for effective pest control in crops such as rice, vegetables, and fruits. Its pyridine structure enables easy functionalization for developing selective and environmentally friendly bioactive compounds. Also employed in pharmaceutical synthesis requiring nitrogen-containing heterocycles for biological activity. Commonly utilized in research for new molecules due to its reactivity and stability.
