Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry due to its ability to undergo cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of complex heterocyclic systems. Also employed in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides. Its reactivity and structural features make it valuable in the preparation of functionalized pyridine derivatives used in drug discovery and materials science.
