Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fungicides and herbicides. Its fluorinated pyridine structure enhances bioavailability and metabolic stability, making it valuable in crop protection agents. It is also explored in medicinal chemistry for kinase inhibitor development due to its ability to interact with biological targets through hydrogen bonding and dipole interactions. Commonly employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize potency and selectivity in drug candidates.
