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 preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its ability to form stable nitrogen-containing heterocyclic structures. Its amine functionality allows for easy derivatization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Also employed in the production of agrochemicals and functional materials where pyridine-based scaffolds enhance biological activity or material properties.
