Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its functional groups enable selective modifications, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in research settings to introduce pyridine-based scaffolds into drug candidates, especially those targeting neurological disorders and cancer. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and structural properties.
