Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its pyridine core with amino, trifluoromethyl, and hydroxy substituents enables selective binding to enzyme active sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis to improve the stability and reactivity of certain pesticide formulations. Commonly employed in research laboratories for constructing complex heterocyclic compounds.
