Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of pyridine-based drugs. Its functional groups enable selective substitutions, making it valuable in creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with targeted biological activity. Commonly employed in the preparation of antitumor, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory agents. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for crop protection chemicals due to its reactivity in cross-coupling reactions. Preferred in research settings for constructing complex heterocyclic systems.
