Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of drugs targeting neurological and psychiatric disorders. It serves as a building block in the preparation of receptor agonists and antagonists due to its structural similarity to bioactive pyridine derivatives. Also employed in agrochemical formulations for the creation of herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its amine functionality allows for easy modification in multi-step organic syntheses, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry research and development.
