Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting central nervous system disorders and anti-inflammatory agents. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in constructing complex pyridine-based molecules. Also employed in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its electron-deficient aromatic ring, which enhances binding to biological targets. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies involving nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
