Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly in the production of herbicides and insecticides. It plays a key role in creating active ingredients that target broadleaf weeds and certain pests in crop protection. Its structure allows for functionalization in multi-step chemical routes, making it valuable in developing chlorinated pyridine-based compounds with enhanced biological activity. Also utilized in research for pharmaceutical development due to its potential as a building block in nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems.
