Used primarily in organic synthesis as an intermediate for the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a key building block in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the synthesis of compounds with potential therapeutic properties. Its chloronicotinate structure makes it valuable for constructing complex molecules through various chemical reactions, such as cross-coupling or nucleophilic substitution. Additionally, it finds application in research and development for creating novel chemical entities with potential biological activities.
