Used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It serves as a building block for nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds due to its amine and pyridine functionalities. Commonly employed in the development of catalysts and ligands for metal-catalyzed reactions. Also finds use in the synthesis of corrosion inhibitors and specialty polymers. Its structure allows for easy modification, making it valuable in research and development of bioactive molecules.
