Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinic receptor agonists and antagonists. Commonly employed in the production of drugs targeting neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Also utilized in agrochemical formulations for the development of novel pesticides due to its structural affinity to bioactive pyridine derivatives. Serves as a building block in organic synthesis for creating substituted pyridines with potential biological activity.
