Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor modulators and central nervous system agents. Commonly employed in the preparation of pyridine-based bioactive molecules, including antipsychotics and anti-inflammatory compounds. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the creation of novel pesticides due to its ability to enhance molecular binding properties. Frequently selected in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification owing to its favorable reactivity and stability in coupling reactions.
