Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and biologically active compounds. Its boronic acid functionality enables Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, allowing for the efficient construction of carbon-carbon bonds in heterocyclic systems. This makes it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating analogs and derivatives targeting specific biological pathways. Commonly employed in research settings for the preparation of pyridine-based drug candidates.
