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 medicinal chemistry for creating compounds with potential anti-inflammatory, antiviral, or anticancer activity. Commonly employed in research settings to build more complex heterocyclic systems. Also utilized in the preparation of agrochemicals and specialty chemicals where chloro- and amino-substituted pyridine derivatives are needed.
