Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its fluorinated pyridine structure enhances metabolic stability and binding affinity in drug molecules. Commonly employed in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and insecticides due to its ability to improve lipophilicity and environmental persistence. Also utilized in materials science for designing organic semiconductors and liquid crystals, where the fluorine atoms influence electronic properties and molecular packing.
