Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor modulators. Commonly employed in the development of drugs for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Also utilized in agrochemical formulations for the creation of selective herbicides and pesticides due to its ability to enhance bioactivity in active ingredients. Its structural features make it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building more complex heterocyclic compounds.
