Used as a key chiral intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical agents, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors for targeted cancer therapies. Its chiral amine functionality allows for selective interactions in biological systems, enhancing drug efficacy and reducing off-target effects. Commonly employed in the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring high enantiomeric purity. Also utilized in agrochemicals for the creation of bioactive molecules with improved environmental stability and activity. Suitable for coupling reactions in medicinal chemistry due to the reactive pyridine ring and amine group.
