1-(2-Pyridyl)ethylamine is widely used in organic synthesis as a versatile building block for the preparation of complex molecules. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the synthesis of drugs targeting the central nervous system. Its pyridine moiety makes it valuable in coordinating with metal ions, enabling its use in catalysis and the development of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Additionally, it is employed in the creation of ligands for asymmetric catalysis, enhancing the efficiency and selectivity of chemical reactions. The compound also finds applications in agrochemical research for designing new pesticides and herbicides. Its amine functionality allows for further derivatization, making it a useful reagent in the development of biologically active compounds and fine chemicals.
