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 further functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyridine-based drug candidates. Commonly employed in research settings to develop compounds with potential anticancer, anti-inflammatory, or antiviral activity. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides and herbicides due to its reactive functional groups.
