Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating targeted drug candidates. Commonly employed in research settings to build pyridine-based scaffolds found in anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial agents. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and ability to form stable derivatives.
