Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of antimalarial drugs. Its structure supports the creation of bioactive molecules due to the quinoline core, which is known for antiparasitic and antimicrobial properties. Also employed in research for potential anticancer agents, where substituted quinolines show activity against certain tumor cell lines. Additionally, it serves as a building block in agrochemicals for crop protection products, leveraging its stability and reactivity in organic transformations.
