Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. Its protected amine group allows for selective reactions in multi-step organic syntheses, making it valuable in drug discovery. Commonly employed in the preparation of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules where pyridine derivatives play a central role. Also utilized in peptide chemistry and the construction of complex molecular architectures through cross-coupling reactions.
