Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for selective binding in medicinal chemistry applications, making it valuable in creating compounds with neurological and anti-inflammatory activity. Also employed in agrochemicals for the design of herbicides and pesticides due to its ability to enhance metabolic stability and target specificity. The fluorinated pyridine core improves lipophilicity and bioavailability, which is advantageous in optimizing drug candidates.
