Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides. It plays a key role in the production of certain chlorinated pyridine-based active ingredients that target broadleaf weeds. Due to its reactive chlorine groups and stable aromatic structure, it is valuable in cross-coupling reactions for building more complex molecules in crop protection chemistry. Also utilized in research for developing new pharmaceuticals and functional materials where chlorinated heterocycles are required.
