Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its structure enables selective binding to enzyme targets, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs with high potency and specificity. Commonly employed in research settings to construct imidazopyridine-based compounds that exhibit antiviral, anti-inflammatory, or antiproliferative activities. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides due to its ability to modulate biological activity in target organisms.
