Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly in the development of neonicotinoid insecticides. It contributes to the structural framework that enhances insecticidal activity and selectivity. Its cyclopropane ring linked to a chloropyridine moiety improves metabolic stability and binding affinity to insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. This compound is valuable in crop protection agents targeting sucking and chewing pests in a variety of crops, including cereals, fruits, and vegetables.
