Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization in heterocyclic compounds, making it valuable in the development of crop protection agents and biologically active molecules. Commonly employed in the preparation of herbicides and insecticides due to the chloropyridine moiety's favorable binding properties. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyridine-based drug candidates with improved metabolic stability.
