Used in pharmaceutical synthesis as an intermediate for developing drugs targeting neurological disorders and psychiatric conditions. Its pyridine ring structure enables coordination with metal ions, making it useful in catalysis for organic reactions. Also employed in the preparation of biologically active compounds, including enzyme inhibitors and receptor ligands. Serves as a building block in the development of agrochemicals, particularly herbicides and plant growth regulators. Its derivatives show potential in antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory applications due to their ability to interact with biological targets.
