Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of sulfonamide-based drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It serves as a building block in medicinal chemistry for creating pyridine-containing compounds that exhibit biological activity. Its structure allows for easy functionalization, making it valuable in drug discovery and the design of enzyme inhibitors. Also applied in research for developing new agrochemicals due to its reactivity and ability to form derivatives with potential pesticidal activity.
