Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor modulators and treatments for neurological disorders. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting central nervous system diseases. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the creation of novel pesticides due to its halogenated aromatic structure, which enhances bioactivity. Its nitrile and amino functional groups allow for further chemical modifications, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and development.
