Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial compounds. Its structure supports the formation of biologically active molecules due to the presence of both amino and hydroxyl functional groups, which facilitate hydrogen bonding and improve binding affinity to target enzymes. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyridine-based scaffolds in drug discovery programs. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved selectivity and efficacy.
