Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and insecticides, due to its ability to form stable derivatives with biological activity. Its structure supports the development of compounds that target specific enzymes in pests or weeds, improving selectivity and efficacy. Also employed in the preparation of pharmaceuticals where the pyridine core contributes to bioactive molecule design, especially in kinase inhibitors. Commonly utilized in research for developing novel organic compounds with potential antimicrobial or antifungal properties.
