Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its reactive amine group and halogen substitution that facilitate further chemical modifications. Its trifluoromethyl group enhances lipophilicity and metabolic stability, making it valuable in the development of bioactive molecules. Commonly employed in crop protection products where selective activity and environmental persistence are required. Also utilized in research for developing novel pharmaceuticals owing to the pyridine scaffold’s prevalence in drug molecules.
