Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. It serves in the preparation of compounds with potential cognitive-enhancing and neuroprotective properties. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship studies targeting central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in the creation of agrochemicals, specifically as a building block for novel pesticides with selective activity. Its structural features make it valuable in heterocyclic chemistry for designing new bioactive molecules.
