Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly neonicotinoid insecticides. Its structure, featuring a 6-chloropyridin-2-yl moiety linked to a cyclohexane carboxylate ester, is essential for constructing the core of active ingredients that target specific enzymes or receptors in pests, thereby improving selectivity and efficacy in pest control. The compound is also studied in medicinal chemistry as a potential building block for pharmaceuticals, leveraging its lipophilic characteristics to enhance membrane permeability in drug candidates.
