Used in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly as an intermediate in the production of herbicides and plant growth regulators. It serves as a building block in organic synthesis due to its reactive amino group and substituted pyridine ring, enabling the formation of more complex molecules. Also employed in the development of dyes and functional materials where nitrogen-containing heterocycles enhance electronic or thermal stability. Its derivatives are explored in medicinal chemistry for potential bioactive properties, including enzyme inhibition and receptor modulation.
