Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. It serves as a building block in the construction of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting tyrosine kinases and other signaling proteins involved in tumor growth. Its fluorinated pyridine structure enhances binding affinity and metabolic stability in drug molecules. Commonly employed in research and development of targeted therapies for oncology, including inhibitors of EGFR and ALK pathways. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the design of novel pesticides due to its bioactive scaffold.
