Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of selective kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure, featuring chloro, methoxy, and nitro substituents on the pyridine ring, allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for developing compounds with potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and ability to participate in cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions.
