Used as an important intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of agrochemicals and bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions and palladium-catalyzed transformations to build complex pyridine derivatives. Also utilized in the preparation of ligands for catalysis and in medicinal chemistry for constructing kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies.
