Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its fluorinated pyridine core enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Commonly employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its electron-withdrawing properties and structural rigidity. Also utilized in materials science for creating fluorinated organic semiconductors and specialty polymers with improved thermal and oxidative stability.
