Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for cancer treatment. Its pyridine-based structure supports binding to enzyme active sites, enhancing selectivity and potency. Also employed in the preparation of bioactive molecules and agrochemicals due to its favorable coordination and stability properties. Commonly utilized in medicinal chemistry for scaffold modification to improve pharmacokinetic profiles. Additionally, serves as a ligand in coordination compounds for chemical catalysis and in materials science applications requiring specific properties, such as transition metal chelation.
