Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of fluorinated pyridine-based drugs. Its reactivity allows for the introduction of the pyridine ring into larger molecules, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to improve lipophilicity and target binding in functional molecules.
