Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other biologically active compounds. Its structure allows for selective functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for creating pyridine-based drug candidates. Commonly employed in the preparation of antiviral and anticancer agents due to its ability to participate in cross-coupling and nucleophilic substitution reactions. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel pesticides with improved efficacy and selectivity.
