Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating compounds with potential anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, or anticancer activity. Commonly employed in medicinal chemistry for building pyridine-based drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance molecular binding and stability.
