Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agricultural chemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and insecticides. Its structure allows for effective interaction with biological targets in pests and weeds, making it valuable in crop protection formulations. Due to the presence of chlorine, fluorine, and trifluoromethyl groups, it contributes to enhanced stability, lipophilicity, and bioavailability in active ingredients. It is also utilized in the development of pharmaceuticals where fluorinated pyridine derivatives are needed for improved metabolic resistance and potency. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to build more complex molecules in both agrochemical and medicinal chemistry research.
