Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its fluorinated pyridine structure enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its favorable electronic and steric properties. Also utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, enabling optimization of lead compounds targeting central nervous system disorders and inflammatory diseases.
