Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing complex heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions to introduce fluorinated pyridine motifs, which can enhance metabolic stability and binding affinity in drug candidates. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with improved efficacy and selectivity.
