Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating pyridine-based derivatives with enhanced reactivity or binding properties. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to build complex molecules. Also utilized in the preparation of ligands for catalysts and in the discovery of new medicinal agents targeting neurological and inflammatory conditions.
