Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and cardiovascular drugs. Its structure allows for easy modification and integration into larger molecules, enhancing drug binding and selectivity. Commonly employed in the preparation of receptor antagonists and enzyme inhibitors due to the pyridine ring’s ability to participate in hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing bioactive molecules with improved stability and activity.
