Used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of drugs targeting central nervous system disorders. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of molecules with potential antipsychotic and antidepressant properties. Additionally, it is utilized in organic research for constructing complex heterocyclic structures, which are valuable in medicinal chemistry. Its pyridine and aniline moieties make it a versatile building block for designing ligands in coordination chemistry and catalysts.
