Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating drug candidates targeting neurological disorders and inflammatory conditions. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions to build complex pyridine-based molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its ability to enhance molecular stability and bioavailability.
