Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated pyridine-based active ingredients. Its structure supports the creation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules targeting neurological and inflammatory conditions. The chloroethyl and fluoro groups enable selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex drug candidates. Also explored in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved metabolic stability.
