Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex molecules. Commonly employed in research settings to build pyridine-based scaffolds that exhibit potential therapeutic activity, including anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance molecular binding affinity.
