Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active molecules by serving as a building block in heterocyclic chemistry. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to the presence of both amino and carboxylic functional groups, allowing for diverse derivatization. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and functional materials where fluorinated pyridine scaffolds enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity.
