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 functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for designing drugs with improved metabolic stability and binding affinity. Commonly employed in the preparation of pyridine-based drug candidates targeting inflammatory diseases, cancer, and central nervous system disorders. Also utilized in agrochemical research for developing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its favorable electronic properties and reactivity in cross-coupling reactions.
