Used primarily in pharmaceutical research, this compound serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is particularly valuable in the development of drugs targeting neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, due to its structural compatibility with bioactive molecules. Additionally, it finds application in the creation of ligands for metal-catalyzed reactions, aiding in the production of complex organic compounds. Its pyridine moiety also makes it useful in the design of molecules for agrochemicals, particularly in the development of herbicides and insecticides.
