Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its ability to enhance selectivity and bioavailability. Its structure supports binding to specific enzyme sites in pests or unwanted plants, improving efficacy. Also explored in pharmaceutical research for developing kinase inhibitors, where the difluoromethoxy and amino-pyridine moieties contribute to target interaction and metabolic stability. Commonly employed in structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to optimize lead compounds in crop protection and medicinal chemistry.
