Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Its structure allows for selective modification, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with high potency. Also employed in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and insecticides due to its ability to enhance bioavailability and stability in active compounds. Commonly utilized in research settings for designing novel pyridine-based molecules with improved metabolic resistance and binding affinity.
