Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex heterocyclic compounds for drug discovery. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its stability and reactivity profile. Commonly utilized in organic synthesis to introduce the pyridine core with defined substitution patterns, facilitating the construction of advanced intermediates.
