Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to the presence of both pyridine and pyrazole rings, which are common scaffolds in bioactive molecules. Its ester functionality allows for easy modification, enabling the introduction of various substituents for structure-activity relationship studies. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and efficacy.
