Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in creating compounds with pesticidal and herbicidal properties. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing nitrogen-containing heterocycles, it contributes to the optimization of metabolic stability and lipophilicity in drug candidates. Also utilized in research settings for designing novel pyridine-based derivatives with potential biological activity.
