Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nicotinate-based drugs targeting metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. It serves as a building block in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its amine and ester functional groups, which allow for further chemical modifications. Commonly employed in research settings for the design of novel heterocyclic compounds with potential biological activity. Also utilized in agrochemical synthesis for creating herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its structure supports the development of compounds with improved bioavailability and target specificity.
