Used as a key 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 diseases. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions and nucleophilic substitutions to build complex pyridine-based molecules. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactivity and stability in various reaction conditions.
