Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its halogenated structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic compounds. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents where fluorinated pyridine scaffolds enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity. Also utilized in the creation of novel pesticides due to its ability to improve lipophilicity and target specificity in active ingredients.
