Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in building complex organic molecules through palladium-catalyzed reactions like Suzuki and Heck couplings. Commonly employed in research and development of new drug candidates due to the pyridine ring’s prevalence in medicinal chemistry. Also utilized in the preparation of ligands and functional materials in organic electronics.
