Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in agrochemicals for creating herbicides and insecticides due to its halogenated pyridine structure, which enhances bioactivity. Also employed in research laboratories for the preparation of functionalized pyridine derivatives used in drug discovery and material science. Its amine group allows for easy coupling reactions, making it valuable in combinatorial chemistry and the design of biologically active molecules.
