Used in organic synthesis as a building block for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of biaryl compounds important in pharmaceutical and agrochemical development. The aldehyde and boronic acid functional groups allow for sequential transformations, making it valuable in multi-step synthesis of complex molecules. Commonly applied in the preparation of ligands, sensors, and functional materials where pyridine-based structures are required. Its reactivity supports the development of novel drug candidates, particularly in medicinal chemistry research targeting kinase inhibitors and other bioactive compounds.
