Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. It serves in the preparation of active ingredients for drugs targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and depression. Also employed in agrochemical formulations for the production of herbicides and insecticides due to its ability to enhance selectivity and efficacy. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building heterocyclic compounds with biological activity.
