Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in creating active ingredients that target specific enzyme pathways in plants. Also employed in research for developing novel kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules due to the pyridine ring’s affinity for biological targets. Commonly utilized in cross-coupling reactions to build more complex molecules in medicinal chemistry.
