Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of nicotinic receptor ligands, including pharmaceuticals targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Also employed in the development of agrochemicals, particularly as a building block for novel insecticides. Its pyridine-based structure enables effective binding in bioactive molecules, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the preparation of functionalized pyridine derivatives for use in catalysis and materials science.
