Used in pharmaceutical research as a building block for synthesizing biologically active compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents. Its fluorinated pyridine structure enhances binding selectivity and metabolic stability in drug candidates. Also employed in agrochemicals to create novel pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles. Common in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies due to its ability to modulate electron distribution and hydrogen bonding in target molecules.
