Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated pyridine-based 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 nitrile functional groups, which allow for diverse derivatization. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals, where fluorinated pyridines contribute to enhanced metabolic stability and target selectivity.
