Ethyl 4,6-dichloropyridine-3-carboxylate serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the development of antiviral and antibacterial agents. Researchers utilize this compound for constructing complex pyridine derivatives via Suzuki-Miyaura or Buchwald-Hartwig couplings. In agrochemical applications, it acts as a precursor for crop protection chemicals. The dichloro substitution pattern enables selective functionalization at either the 4- or 6-position, offering synthetic flexibility for structure-activity relationship studies.
