Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for drugs targeting central nervous system disorders and oncology. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in creating complex pyridine-based molecules. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki and Stille couplings to form carbon-carbon bonds in drug discovery. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its enhanced reactivity and stability in organic transformations.
