Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure supports the construction of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which are common in drugs targeting cancer and inflammatory diseases. Also employed in agrochemicals for the production of herbicides and pesticides due to its reactivity and functional group compatibility. Commonly utilized in research settings for the design of novel organic molecules requiring fluorinated and methylated pyridine derivatives.
