Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for various therapeutic agents. It plays a role in the development of compounds with potential anti-inflammatory, antiviral, or anticancer properties. Additionally, it is employed in organic synthesis to introduce functional groups into complex molecules, aiding in the creation of fine chemicals and specialty materials. Its reactivity makes it valuable in constructing pyridine-based structures, which are common in medicinal chemistry.
