Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its functionalized pyridine core allows for selective transformations, making it valuable in constructing complex heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions to build active ingredients in crop protection agents. Also utilized in research for creating novel kinase inhibitors and other therapeutic agents due to its ability to enhance binding selectivity in molecular design.
