Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its boronic acid functional group enables participation in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in constructing complex organic molecules for drug discovery. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry to introduce the pyridine ring system into target molecules, enhancing binding affinity and selectivity toward biological targets. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials due to its reactivity and structural features.
