Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. It serves in the preparation of active ingredients for drugs targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and depression. Also employed in agrochemicals for the production of novel pesticides due to its pyridine-based structure, which enhances bioactivity and selectivity. Its functional groups allow for easy modification in multi-step organic syntheses, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and development.
