Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active ingredients for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and antimicrobial agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex pyridine-based molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to build biaryl systems in medicinal chemistry. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing new crop protection agents due to its reactivity and stability in multi-step syntheses.
