Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of antitumor and antimicrobial agents. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in constructing nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. Commonly employed in research settings to prepare pyridine-based derivatives with potential biological activity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides due to its reactivity and ability to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions.
