Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor modulators and drugs targeting neurological disorders. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with high specificity. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki and Heck reactions, to build complex pyridine-based molecules. Also utilized in agrochemicals for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its bioactive scaffold. Its versatility in heterocyclic chemistry supports research in medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.
