Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. It plays an important role in the development of drugs targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia. Its structure allows for effective binding and selectivity in receptor sites, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the development of novel pesticides due to its bioactive properties. Commonly employed in research settings for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving pyridine derivatives.
