Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antimalarial drugs. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the quinoline core, which is known for antiparasitic and antimicrobial properties. Also employed in research for developing novel heterocyclic compounds with potential therapeutic activity. Limited use in agrochemicals as a building block for crop protection agents. Not commonly found in consumer products due to its specialized role in chemical synthesis.
