Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in the development of kinase inhibitors and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for constructing pyridine-based drug candidates. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions to form carbon-carbon bonds, enabling the creation of complex heterocyclic systems found in modern therapeutics. Also utilized in agrochemical research for designing novel active ingredients with targeted biological activity.
