Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in drug discovery for introducing pyridine-based motifs. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Buchwald-Hartwig aminations to build complex molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its stability and reactivity profile.
