Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting neurological and psychiatric disorders. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with pyridine-based scaffolds. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance bioactivity. Additionally, it serves as a building block in the preparation of ligands for catalytic processes in organic synthesis.
